The general idea for this study is to create 6 short pieces between one and five minutes that will be followed up by a questionnaire so as to measure the therapeutic value of each one. The pieces will be shot using a Sony-Z1 HDV camcorder and edited on non-linear software. All of the standard techniques of filmmaking will be used.
The artefacts that will be created as part of this study will encompass the therapeutic aspects of sound and music, visual imagery, color, and narrative. Some will be focused on one aspect more than the others, seeing as using all of them in one piece might distract the viewer and reduce the effectiveness of the treatment. For instance, one artefact might depict a character that is anxious struggling to perform a task. For this artefact the emphasis would be on the narrative and getting the viewer to relate to the character's experience, thus allowing them to see their anxiety from another perspective.
Another piece might test the effects of using a certain frequency of sound. Through the process of octave shifting, it may be possible to produce the frequency of an enzyme that will reduce anxiety.
By testing the specific effects in this way, it will make it easier to test the individual techniques, as opposed to the general effect of all the factors combined.
