Experimentation: Representing Anxiety/Panic Attacks

 I'm experimenting with an idea of showing my protagonist's slow build-up to the panic attack that they have in the film through the use of deconstructed shapes. I started with this gif testing the idea to see how it would look in colour. 

I then tried this idea out in my animatic, taking it further and having the shapes start to swirl around, representing the swirling thoughts that would happen in this state.

Following this, I tested using this method earlier on in my film, whenever Sunny is experiencing stress/anxiety/anger, they start to slip into this state. I tried using it only on the mirrored version of them at first, though I'm unsure if this would be inconsistent because it doesn't only manifest in reflections later on.
