To make sure we are doing the right thing and exactly know my subject of the video that we were making, I have researched more into multiple Personality Disorder. This helped me more understand how those people feel and what actually happens to them. Researching more into it helped me think more of the video in a realistic way. Following are the websites and articles that I have read before starting the video making process:
Dissociation identity disorder (DID), previously known as multiple personality disorder (MPD),[1] is a mental disorder characterized by at least two distinct and relatively enduring identities or dissociated personality states that alternately control a person's behavior, and is accompanied by memory impairment for important information not explained by ordinary forgetfulness. These symptoms are not accounted for by substance abuse,seizures, other medical conditions or imaginative play in children.[2] Diagnosis is often difficult as there is considerable comorbidity with other mental disorders. Malingering should be considered if there is possible financial or forensic gain, as well as factitious disorder if help-seeking behavior is prominent.

Multiple personality disorder (MPD) is a psychiatric
disorder characterized by having at least one "alter" personality that controls behavior. The "alters" are said to occur spontaneously and involuntarily, and function more or less independently of each other. The unity of consciousness, by which we identify our selves, is said to be absent in MPD. Another symptom of MPD is significant amnesia which can't be explained by ordinary forgetfulness. In 1994, the American Psychiatric Association's DSM-IV replaced the designation of MPD with DID: dissociative identity disorder. The label may have changed, but the list of symptoms remained essentially the same.Extracted from: http://www.skepdic.com/mpd.html
http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2011/sep/30/kim-noble-woman-with-100-personalities - This is an article that I have found on the internet of a real case of the multiple personality disorder.
Following are a few signs and simptoms that I have found of the multiple personality disorder:- Lapses in memory (dissociation), particularly of significant life events, like birthdays, weddings, or birth of a child;
- Experiencing blackouts in time, resulting in finding oneself in places but not recalling how one traveled there;
- Being frequently accused of lying when they do not believe they are lying (for example, being told of things they did but do not recall, unrelated to the influence of any drug or medical condition);
- Finding items in one's possession but not recalling how those things were acquired;
- Encountering people with whom one is unfamiliar but who seem to know them sometimes as someone else;
- Being called names that are completely unlike their own name or nickname;
- Finding items they have clearly written but are in handwriting other than their own;
- Hearing voices inside their head that are not their own;
- Not recognizing themselves in the mirror;
- Feeling unreal (derealization);
- Feeling like they are watching themselves move through life rather than living their own life;
- Feeling like more than one person.

Because we are trying to show the multiple personality disorder through contemporary dance, I have also researched into that in more detail and looked at previously made dance videos of expressive dance. Following are a few examples that I looked at on Youtube:
Following is another video of contemporary dancing that I have looked at. Even though it is not the actual style of video that we made, I still liked the dancing because it is also expressing feeling like we are trying to do in our video:
In the next video, I really like the fact that it is completely made in low key. It is also a video that tells a narrative in the way that we are.
