Our media product represents teenagers dealing with mental illness based on the character of David Foster, a teenage boy with schizophrenia. We use a male protagonist to explore themes of mental illness, which is a thriller convention used successfully in films like Identity and Se7en. The audience is meant to feel sympathy for David and understand his actions are due to his illness. Camera techniques like mid shots are used to show he feels no remorse while establishing shots portray his victim's innocence to make the audience feel pity.
