The aim of Artefact 3 is to find out whether the content within a therapeutic audiovisual piece or the style of the piece contributes more to inducing a relaxed state in the viewer.
This objective has come from the conclusions I made for Artefacts 1 and 2:
Artefact 1- Confirmed the initial assumption, but the most influential element could not be determined
- Both calming visual elements and audio elements were relaxing to the viewers, however, which one had the greatest effect was not clear
Artefact 2- Disproved the original assumption that sound would have a greater ability to calm the viewer
- Although it was evident that the visual elements had a stronger influence, whether or not the style or content that made the greatest contribution to calming the viewer was not certain
It is crucial to this study to deconstruct the aspects of audiovisual material piece by piece so as to gain the understanding of what elements should be emphasized in a format for therapeutic media. In order to do this, I plan on changing the edits of the sections from the Artefact 1 clip. By creating both a clip that has a relaxing style but not relaxing content, and one that has calming content but is not edited in a relaxing style and comparing these results, it will be evident whether the style or content would play a bigger role in treating anxiety.
