After discussing that our film was going to be about someone suffering from Agoraphobia I have decided to do some research into this condition to see if there is any help on what to build our character like and their surroundings. I found that the definition of Agoraphobia is that it is a fear of being in situations where escape might be difficult, or help wouldn't be available if things go wrong. A person with Agoraphobia might be scared of:
- travelling on public transport
- visiting a shopping centre
- leaving home (which is what our character is going to be dealing with)
To help with our panic attack scene I have also been looking into what people who suffer from Agoraphobia do when they find themselves in a stressful situation and they usually experience symptoms of a panic attack such as:
- rapid heartbeat
- rapid breathing (hyperventilating)
- feeling hot and sweaty
- feeling sick
