Through my mood board for Claudia i wanted to show images that related to addiction, mental illness and agoraphobia which all relate to my chosen word of 'glass prison'.
Addiction: Claudia has an addiction to horror films and this obsession has turned into a passion for recreating the events that occur in these movies in real life with the help of her neighbour Mrs Laderman. She cannot get out of this addiction due to her mental illness. Addiction is a very serious issue and it takes a lot of determination to get out of it whether it be drugs, alcohol, gambling etc. In Claudia's case it is her addiction to recreate what she witnesses in horror films to victims in real life. She has an addiction to performing torturous acts on innocent people.
Agoraphobia: Agoraphobia is having a fear of the 'outside world'. In Claudia's case she is afraid that people are going to hurt her and she fears the feeling of embarrassment. Mrs Laderman is Claudia's way of staying in contact with the outside world without having to actually leave her house. Agoraphobia can also relate to the feeling of being 'trapped' inside because in some cases you can be physically trapped inside your home, this is similar to the feeling of addiction and mental illness as you can be stuck in your own mind.
Mental illness: For this word i wanted to show how mental illnesses can make people feel trapped and unsure as to what they should listen to. In Claudia's case she has voices inside her head telling her that what she see's in horror movies is ok for her to perform on people in real life. She feels trapped in this world of unease as to whether this really is the right thing to do or not.
