The lead protagonist within our short film named Lily experiences a stressful event, she is involved in an accident leaving her with severe head injuries and comatosed for a week. When she awakes she experiences visions of peoples deaths through touch. She has gained a psychic ability.
This story line inspired me to research into the topic of psychic abilites online, to discover if people truly experience these abilities or if they are fake and more logical evidence can be provided.
Through research I discovered a list of psychic abilities one titled 'Death-Warning' described as a vision of a living person prior to his or hers death. This description relates to the same ability as our lead character creating a form of realism within the context of our story line.This ability often occurs within people who preform mysticism. This refers to men and women who believe in intuitive spiritual revelation.
Within online discussions people argue that psychic abilities are completely true whereas others argue the similarities between experiencing an ability and personality disorders such as schizophrenia. Schizophrenia is a mental disorder chatergorized by abnormal social behaviour and failure to recognise reality.
The context within our story relies on the audiences decision as to whether Lily truly gained a psychic ability or a mental disorder due to her high stress levels, however the intention within the story line is that Lily formed a psychic ability to forsee deaths following her head injury.
