Eliminating the Stigma

Our group was so lucky to get in touch with Melissa Ann HOPEly. She is a girl who is my age and is making a huge difference in her community and looking forward to make this impact on a larger level. She was diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. She had her struggles, but grew to be a stronger person. She has used her experience to change the lives of others. She tells her story to teens and speaks about her own experience with suicidal tendencies. Her story really moved me. I hope by doing our documentary on her will help expand her efforts to eliminate the stigma of mental illness and decrease the suicide rate.

Here is the 3 minute video for Project: Report. The extended version is to come...

  1. Christina, as we told your group during the class feedback, I think that your video was incredible! Your videography and cinematography not only capture the story of Melissa Hopely, but they also propel the theme of your video. I really like how you have framed your interview with Hopely. Having her position with the campaign sign in the background was a great way to stage the interview. GREAT JOB!
