Personal thoughts
Through most of my research Ive found that in general D.I.D is a pretty difficult if not negative condition. Sufferers tend to have come from an abusive past :(
I think my art piece will be quite serious but not too dark and depressing, I don't want to add more negativity to the subject matter. (plus the child like personality will add a bit of positivity to it)
My personal thoughts and opinions on D.I.D:
Its extremely hard to understand mental health conditions when I don't have any myself or directly know anyone with them (not D.I.D anyway). Research has given me a bit of a better understanding but the best research was speaking to Lydia. Its weird to think I went to school with her and now she has D.I.D coz she didn't back then. She's always had health issues, mostly due to her dad dying whilst we were in school, but I didn't know how serious they were.
I've found this topic extremely interesting and all my research has definitely given me a better understanding.

EDITING
I continued editing today, adding sound effects and layering.
We originally weren't going to include sound effects but I played around and I think it works quite well- i've sent a draft to the group to see their opinions- if they like the sound we will need to book speakers.
Everything I downloaded was royalty free.
I downloaded free static noise and children crying and laughter from freeSFX.com and freesound.org
I used the static sound as a sort of transition between the negative and positive aspects of each personality - as if creating a distribution. The clip ive used with the audio is Gaya moving/shaking her head as if she's in pain. I thought it looked like something inside her brain was hurting her/speaking to her. The idea is for it to look like the personalities inside her brain are telling her to stop being good and start acting bad. (angel/devil kind of vibe).
In the edit I have taken all the best clips of Gaya as each personality and sorted them positive to negative, with a disruption in between. I've started with a neutral state - Gaya in a grey jumper and blue jeans looking tired and slightly distressed. The edit then goes to her in the childlike state - laughing, giggling, playing with a soft toy. Next comes the disruption and then the child drops her dummy, starts crying and her expressions change from soft to hard and intense.
The same repeats for each personality, with a disruption changing from 'good' to 'bad'.
At the end of the edit I want to play around with Gaya falling in her neutral clothes and in the hospital gown, maybe cutting the two clips together.
