between cast members and manage the overall production.
Organization:
The video begins with a student struggling with her mental health. She fails all her classes, is
constantly exhausted, and spends sleepless nights on social media, which only worsens her
condition. As she remains unaware of her deteriorating mental health, new mental illnesses
start to emerge. Her poor mental state eventually leads to physical issues, such as fainting.
At her breaking point, she decides to visit a doctor. Her test results reveal serious health
concerns, prompting the start of medical treatment. However, after months of treatment with
no improvement, the doctor recommends that she see a psychologist.
Her time with the psychologist proves to be life-changing. Through therapy, she gains
awareness of her mental health and learns how to manage it effectively. As a result, her daily
routine undergoes a significant transformation; she develops healthier habits, improves
academically, and achieves personal success.
The video highlights the importance of mental health awareness and the positive impact of
seeking help.

Project Structure:
This project will be presented in the form of a short video, designed to raise awareness about
mental health. I am planning to share the video with various high schools, including my
former school which has a high school part, to reach a wider audience. Also, it will not be a
school-wide video because I think that our school has great PDR members who help us any
minute.
The end product is going to be a short awareness video that illustrates a student's
journey through mental health struggles, the turning point through therapy, and her recovery
process. The final scenes will include informative sentences related to mental health
awareness. After completion, the video will be shared digitally with several high schools in
Kocaeli and possibly uploaded to a public platform (like YouTube or Instagram) to reach a
broader audience. We aim to include impactful captions and short messages to emphasize the
importance of mental health.
