Drugs and their effects

Me and my colegue Veronika are still deciding what drugs should we use , so I made my own research to find out their effects so we can know which one goes better with the effects that we want to transmit to the audience.

We are not planning to use strong drugs like heroin , because in our opinion this drug is for people that are already addicted with less percentage of saving themselfs , but we want to use something that teenagers are easily tented to use like lsd, cocaine , mdma. We really want to show how bad can it be for a girl to use drugs and after go home alone.

I will put up all the effects of each drugs that I think we should use , and you are more than welcome to give us some feedback with your opinion :)


Negatives effects of Cocaine:
irritability
paranoia
restlessness
anxiety
dilated pupils
high levels of energy and activity
excited, exuberant speech and more other negative effects that could be death.
Negative effects of LSD:

* anxiety
* tension, jaw tension
* increased perspiration
* difficulty regulating body temperature
* nausea
* dizziness, confusion
insomnia
* megalomania
* over-awareness & over-sensitization to music and noise
* paranoia, fear, and panic
* unwanted and overwhelming feelings
* unwanted life-changing spiritual experiences
* flashbacks

Negative effects of MDMA:
(negative side effects increase with higher doses and frequent use)
# inappropriate and/or unintended emotional bonding
# anxiety or paranoia (less common than opposite)
# agitation (less common than opposite)
# tendency to say things you might feel uncomfortable about later
# mild to extreme jaw clenching (trisma), tongue and cheek chewing, and teeth grinding (bruxia)
and other effects that could be death.
 
We have decided to use extacis as our final drug mixed with alcohol this will produce
Extreme Aches
-Jaw Ache
-Damage to Teeth
-Tiredness
-Blisters from dancing to much
-Clenching of the jaw
-"guerning" grinding the
jaw, chewing your cheeks, tongue and smashing your teeth together.
-Dehydration
We want to use this drug and another , that means that she will mix and she will have allusinations. We want to show that to the audience through our editing.

  1. All of this research is very detailed but how has it affected your planning? What ideas have you had since carrying out this research?

  2. Well after this research we decided to use ecstasy as the drugs that the girl will take in the party , this research was very useful because we looked at the symptoms and how to transmit that to the audience , including camera movement , shots , editing and acting .

  3. I really like your final choice of drugs and I think it will give you the right effect for the girl to look like she is on drugs :)
