Gunda - This film is visually interesting , it is in black and white, each shots last for a prolonged amount of time, you are able to connect with the mother pig in the film as by the end you feel the same sadness that this mother feels.

Dick Johnson is dead - This documentary does a grate job of making jokes in times of sadness. The structure allows you to see all the changes in Dick Johnson.

Notes on Blindness - the structure of this documentary is good as it show how things gey worse and then in the middle there is the darkest point before it gets better.

The sound in this film is grate as it allows you to hear more of the different background noises. I really liked the part with the rain and how it all sounded different on each object.

What happenes

A stroke is a serious life-threatening medical condition that happens when the blood supply to part of the brain is cut off.
Strokes are a medical emergency and urgent treatment is essential.

The sooner a person receives treatment for a stroke, the less damage is likely to happen.

If you suspect that you or someone else is having a stroke, phone 999 immediately and ask for an ambulance.

Symptoms of a stroke

The main symptoms of stroke can be remembered with the word FAST:

Face - the face may have dropped on 1 side, the person may not be able to smile, or their mouth or eye may have dropped.

Arms - the person with suspected stroke may not be able to lift both arms and keep them there because of weakness or numbness in 1 arm.

Speech - their speech may be slurred or garbled, or the person may not be able to talk at all despite appearing to be awake; they may also have problems understanding what you're saying to them.

Time - it's time to dial 999 immediately if you see any of these signs or symptoms.

Causes of a stroke

Like all organs, the brain needs the oxygen and nutrients provided by blood to function properly.

If the supply of blood is restricted or stopped, brain cells begin to die. This can lead to brain injury, disability and possibly death.

There are 2 main causes of strokes:

ischaemic - where the blood supply is stopped because of a blood clot, accounting for 85% of all cases

haemorrhagic - where a weakened blood vessel supplying the brain bursts

There's also a related condition called a transient ischaemic attack (TIA), where the blood supply to the brain is temporarily interrupted.

This causes what's known as a mini-stroke. It can last a few minutes or persist up to 24 hours.

TIAs should be treated urgently, as they're often a warning sign you're at risk of having a full stroke in the near future.

Get medical advice as soon as possible, even if your symptoms get better.

Certain conditions increase the risk of having a stroke, including:

Treating a stroke

Treatment depends on the type of stroke you have, including which part of the brain was affected and what caused it.

Strokes are usually treated with medicine. This includes medicines to prevent and dissolve blood clots, reduce blood pressure and reduce cholesterol levels.

In some cases, procedures may be required to remove blood clots. Surgery may also be needed to treat brain swelling and reduce the risk of further bleeding if this was the cause of your stroke.

Recovering from a stroke

People who survive a stroke are often left with long-term problems caused by injury to their brain.

Some people need a long period of rehabilitation before they can recover their former independence, while many never fully recover and need ongoing support after their stroke.

Local authorities should provide free reablement services for anyone assessed as needing them. These services help the person recovering from a stroke learn or relearn the skills they need to live at home independently.

Some people will continue to need some form of care or help with their daily activities.

For example, a care worker may come to the person's home to help with washing and dressing, or to provide companionship.

Read about:

If you're recovering from a stroke or caring for someone who is, you may find the social care and support guide useful.

It's written for people with care and support needs, as well as their carers and relatives.

Preventing a stroke

You can significantly reduce your risk of having a stroke if you:

If you have a condition that increases your risk of a stroke, it's important to manage it effectively. For example, taking medicine you've been prescribed to lower high blood pressure or cholesterol levels.

If you've had a stroke or TIA in the past, these measures are particularly important because your risk of having another stroke is greatly increased.

Stroke in children

Stroke does not just affect adults. Every year around 400 children in the UK have a stroke, according to the Stroke Association.
Read more about childhood stroke on the Stroke Association website

Social care and support guide

The social care and support guide explains your options and where you can get support if you:

need help with day-to-day living because of illness or disability

care for someone regularly because they're ill, elderly or disabled (including family members)

Effects of stroke

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
A stroke can cause permanent loss of function. The long-term effects of stroke depend on which part of the brain was damaged and by how much. Early treatment and rehabilitation after stroke can improve recovery and many people regain a lot of function.

The most recent data for Australia shows that after a stroke, slightly more than one third of people have a disability that has affected their daily activities. Of the people with a disability after stroke, 88 per cent are cared for in households and 12 per cent in residential care.

The most common types of disability after stroke are impaired speech, restricted physical abilities, weakness or paralysis of limbs on one side of the body, difficulty gripping or holding things, and a slowed ability to communicate.

If you are living in a household after a stroke, the types of people who can help you and your carers with recovery and long-term effects of the stroke include:

community healthcare professionals - such as your doctor, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists and counsellors

community services - home help and respite care

peer support groups.

Physical changes after stroke

Any physical changes after a stroke will depend on which part of your brain was damaged and by how much.

Changes in physical experience can include:

difficulty with gripping or holding things

fatigue or tiredness - can be caused by physical changes or medication, but also mood changes, depression, anxiety or difficulty sleeping

incontinence - many types of incontinence can occur, but it can be caused by medication, muscle weakness, changes in sensations, thinking and memory

pain - can be caused by actual or potential damage to your tissues (nociceptive pain) or by damage to your nerves that then send incorrect messages to your brain (neuropathic pain)

restricted ability to perform physical activities or exercise

swallowing issues

vision problems

weakness or paralysis of limbs on one side of the body.

Emotional and personality changes after stroke

If you have suffered a stroke, it is common to have changes in your mood and personality. Some emotional changes may be caused by damage to the brain from the stroke, but you can also experience a range of emotions, as well as depression, as a response to the change in your situation.

Depression is common in the first year after a stroke, but it is particularly common in people who have trouble understanding, finding words and communicating (aphasia) after a stroke.

The symptoms of depression include:

feeling sad most of the time

feeling tired

feeling worthless

finding it difficult to concentrate

finding it difficult to manage everyday life

having difficulty sleeping

losing a sense of pleasure in activities you used to enjoy

losing interest in food or eating too much

losing weight or gaining weight.

After a stroke, people can also have anxiety either on its own or with depression. Anxiety is more than just feeling stressed. People who are anxious can:

find it difficult to calm down

feel worried most of the time

feel frightened by intense panic

have recurring thoughts that increase their anxiety

avoid situations that can cause them to be anxious.

Personality and behavioural changes are also common and can include:

irritability - reacting to things that would normally not annoy you

aggressiveness - physical or verbal

apathy or lack of motivation

repetitive behaviour - becoming stuck in the repetition of words or behaviours

disinhibition - tendency to say and do things that are socially inappropriate

impulsiveness - can also include sudden and socially inappropriate actions.

Changes to thinking, memory and perception after stroke

A stroke can change your thinking and memory, and also how you see, hear and feel the world. This can affect how you feel about yourself, your family and friends.

Thinking and memory skills are also known as cognitive skills. Cognitive skills can be affected by your emotional state or tiredness, but a stroke can also cause different cognitive changes, including your:

ability to learn new skills

ability to plan

ability to problem solve

attention - being able to concentrate and focus

orientation - knowing the day and time

short-term memory - knowing what happened recently.

Perception is the term that describes how you see, hear and feel the world. After a stroke, your perception can include changes to:

feeling contact, pain, heat or cold on the side of your body affected by stroke

judging distance

performing certain movements even without physical disability (apraxia)

recognising shapes and objects, or even your own body

seeing or feeling things only on one side - which can cause you to bump into things

watching TV or reading - can become difficult

vision - some people lose half their vision in each eye (hemianopia).

Communication after stroke

For some people, the stroke affects the part of their brain that helps speaking, reading and communication. Symptoms of these strokes may include:

difficulty in finding the right words or understanding what others are saying (aphasia or dysphasia)

weakness in the muscles that help speech (dysarthria)

dysfunction of the nerve connection between your brain and mouth, making speaking difficult (dyspraxia)

reading and writing problems caused by a weak writing hand or problems thinking or seeing.

Everyday life after stroke

Having a stroke can mean changes to your everyday life. This includes changes in:

living arrangements - you may need to move to residential care or modify your home

sexual function and relationships

your ability to handle complex skills such as driving

your ability to work - if you were working before your stroke

your level of independence - you may need to rely on carers at home.

Stroke rehabilitation can help you to get the most out of your life after a stroke.

Support for long-term effects after stroke

The types of healthcare professionals who can help depend on the challenges you face. A good first step is to speak with your doctor or rehabilitation team and they can help you directly or refer you to other healthcare professionals.

Apart from your doctor, other healthcare professionals who can offer help after a stroke include:

clinical psychologists

neuropsychologists

occupational therapists

physiotherapists

psychiatrists

rehabilitation nurses

social workers

speech pathologists.

Home help and respite care can also be a great help for you and your carers. Staying connected with family and friends, or joining a support group with other people who have had a stroke, can also help with your physical and emotional wellbeing.

For the interviews I filmed the sound on a different source, my phone. I also made sure that the audio was clear by using adobe podcast.

For the music I tried to find something that matched the feelings of the documentary. Because of this there is different background music at the end, this is because I found that the music at the start did not match the mood. I also did not want the background music to be too distraction from the interviews.

In this documentary I liked the use of b-roll and how the location reflects information about the character. this is something that I wanted to achieve with my documentary and how I use b-roll. The b-roll often included being showing the details of a place.

The story of the documentary was very moving one of the reasons for this is the structure. The interview showed how much the dad loved his wife and then it was revealed be the wife her self to a video to her children what happened.

This documentary also uses found footage, this is something that I don't have but it works really well in this documentary as it show their family and allows you to connect with their struggles.

This documentary also uses sound well, this is seen as the background music and sound helps create the right enviroments.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the this documentary helped me with my own as it gave me more ideas on what to film to make my documentary more visually interesting. This is because the b-roll that is used contains some close ups of different parts of the seating that they where in. this is something that I wanted to do in y documentary. This lead me to film different parts of my house looking at the different details and what might relate to what is being said.

The subject that is being talked is something that can difficult for them to talk about due to the emotions that it brings and how it effected their lives. This is another aspect that I found was useful as it allowed me to see how I should structure my own story to create the same effect.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the structure works well to make and emotional story. I think the decision to interview more of my family and not just my mom was a good idea as it meant that I had more information from other people.

I think that the part that could be improved on is the sound. This is because I found that there should be something other than the talking and music but I did not know how to effectually add sound effects.
