Lose the drama. period

illustration, Animation & composing

Blood has been flowing out of us for eons, so why are we still precious about it? It is a completely normal bodily function, so why the period drama? A brief given to us by the Scottish Marketing Society was to engage with young people via TikTok with the aim to abolish the stigma around periods. I have incorporated the play on ‘period drama’ with a short animation including comical sanitary products and historical figures to show the ridiculousness of the situation and hopefully to make people question their reaction to menstruation. I wrote and recorded a lighthearted song called “Period Drama” to accompany my video that would appeal to a younger audience. My response to the brief was nominated for “Aspiring Creative Star of the Year’ award at the Marketing Society Star Awards Scotland 2022.
