Final Videos of Emotional Expression
The title of my Interactive Application is "Click & Feel".
Emotion:
Background Music:
Extraction from X-File Theme Song
Title:
A Curious Eye
Artist Description:
The video concept is from the view of an eye and everything the eye see is in kaleidoscope. Based on my suvey, the target audience have diff view on curious. So it means that everything can make my target audience feel curious. So I decided to use kaleidoscope concept as it can present anything and try to evoke the feeling of curious to the audience. I use a weird music to further evoke the curious feeling and make the movement of kaleidoscope synchronise with it.
Emotion:
Digust
Background Music:
Extraction from Mozart, Piano Concerto No. 21 - Andante
Title:
Drop and Ballet
Artist Description:
The concept of this video is to use shapes to symbolise shit. Round and un-uniform shape is very well represent disgusting feel. And according to my survey, my target audience felt that shit is disgusting and those mud splashing sound too. So I applied this in my video. I use a soft and harmony background music in order to create a high contrast with disgusting. The music and the motion of shape go together very well as if they are dancing ballet.
Emotion:
Guilt
Background Music:
Extraction from Bach, Toccata & Fugue in the Minor
Title:
Sin in the Head
Artist Description:
The video is about a rectangle accidentally killed a cirlce. The killing scene keep on repeating in its brain. Target audience often feel guilty when they did something wrong. So I choose killing because it is more extreme and it could evoke more guilty feeling to my target audience. My target audience felt that black is the color that best describe guilty.
Concept Board of Interactive Application
This is based on the concept design of interactive application. The videos of all expression and the screen design style is all showed in this board. The outside grey boarder is dark tone, the 3 column inside is in bright color. This is to create a high contrast and make the design looks more attractive. I choose to put the main focus point at the right because middle is boring. Basically the whole concept board had already showed the basic of my interactive application and videos.

Target Audience
The target audience that I choose is teenager, age from 18-25 years old, University Student.
There are several reasons I choose teenagers as my target audience:
1. Easy to access. I can do survey easier as they are all around me.
2. Able to conduct a questionnaire which they can understand. If I make a questionnaire for kids, I had to change the grammar level.
3. Teenagers can understand the emotions I choose. Curiosity,Disgust,Guilty. These might be too complicated for kids.
4. I can get instant feedbacks from teenagers. As they more willing to spend times to watch my videos compare to adults.
So I had make a questionnaire for my target audience.
