As we all know by now, i have chosen to do my individual project on Bulimia. The idea came along a few weeks ago now and i have finally got my research and portfolio sorted out. The scary part is i still have much to do! I have two main filming locations. These will be the two locations of the interviews i wish to carry out. Both taking place in week 9, a little late i know. I have nearly brushed up on the cuttaways and still need to do some more filming in the next couple of weeks. The script is being put together on the 26th of April with the help of another University student who kindly offered to help out. I am also interviewing Lance Workman on the 30th. So far so good.
Bulimia
Bulimia, also called bulimia nervosa, is a psychological eating disorder. Bulimia is characterized by episodes of binge-eating followed by inappropriate methods of weight control. Inappropriate methods of weight control include vomiting, fasting, enemas, excessive use of laxatives and diuretics, or compulsive exercising. Excessive shape and weight concerns are also characteristics of bulimia. A binge is an episode where an individual eats a much larger amount of food than most people would in a similar situation. Binge eating is not a response to intense hunger. It is usually a response to depression, stresss, or self esteem issues.
In the idividual project i want to use this information in the most effective way i can. Using information from a sufferer first hand and an interview with someone who can tell me a lot about the disorder. I also want to include ways it can be helped including where and who you can get help from.
