Breaking Glass

Buying The Glass:

 

I bought three wine glasses from Wilko which were priced at 50p each therefore I spent £1.50 on purchases three glasses. I chose to buy three so I could drop the glass in three different ways.
After buying the glass I then removed the sticker from the bottom of the glass. In order to do this I used a wet cloth.

The Set Up:

Adding The Glass To Frame:

Drop 1:


For my first attempt I chose to drop the glass up right. Because the steam was weaker it meant the glass shattered very well and as a result in this it created lots of shards of glass.
This was the best footage which I received.






Drop 2:

This time I chose to drop the class top down. This would result in the top of the glass smashing into lots of shards.








Drop 3:

 


This time we smashed the glass on a side but this did not work very well. This is because the stem of the glass broke instead of the whole glass. This meant the glass split into two parts.

Slitting Into Two Parts:

These images show what was left after I had smashed all three glasses.

                                                       

 

These are the safety glasses which I wore when smashing the glass to prevent any shards going into to eyes.

Why does it happen?

The exact cause of schizophrenia is unknown. However, most experts believe the condition is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.
It is thought certain things make you more vulnerable to developing schizophrenia, and certain situations can trigger the condition.

Who is affected?

Schizophrenia is one of the most common serious mental health conditions. About 1 in 100 people will experience schizophrenia in their lifetime, with many continuing to lead normal lives.
Schizophrenia is most often diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 35. Men and women are affected equally.
There is no single test for schizophrenia. It is most often diagnosed after an assessment by a mental health care professional, such as a psychiatrist.
It is important that schizophrenia is diagnosed as early as possible, as the chances of recovery improve the earlier it is treated.

How is schizophrenia treated?

Schizophrenia is usually treated with a combination of medication and therapy appropriate to each individual. In most cases, this will be antipsychotic medicines and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).
People with schizophrenia will usually receive help from a community mental health team (CMHT), which will offer day-to-day support and treatment.
Many people recover from schizophrenia, although they may have periods when symptoms return (relapses). Support and treatment can help reduce the impact the condition has on your life.

Living with schizophrenia

If schizophrenia is well managed, it is possible to reduce the chances of severe relapses. This can include:

• recognising the signs of an acute episode
• taking medication as prescribed
• talking to others about the condition

There are many charities and support groups offering help and advice on living with schizophrenia. Most people find it comforting talking to others with a similar condition.

Misconceptions about schizophrenia

Split personality
It is commonly thought people with schizophrenia have a split personality, acting perfectly normally one minute and irrationally or bizarrely the next – this is not true.
Violent behaviour
Some people mistakenly equate schizophrenia with violent behaviour, but people with the condition are rarely dangerous.
Any violent behaviour is usually sparked off by illegal drugs or alcohol, which is the same for people who don't have schizophrenia.
