Week 11

Music and video can change our mood and find the memories that buried deep in our mind. Whenever we talk about immersive experience, it is easy to discover that our body immerses in some kind of mood when we stay in some environment (a video, an audio, some kind of space or light). Maybe one note, one shot or a moment of light can wake some kind of environment in our mind. In that environment, there are moods, memories and feelings. When we immerse in that environment, external stimulus may determine your mood, while the sense of immersive is more depend on the level of authenticity and intensity of your mood. Actually, the stimulation of both audio and video can bring us in immersive experience. When you build environment through video and audio, you need to focus on the preference and diversity, because the mood environment is determined by mental distance. For example, our mind can create different sound moods under the same music and different videos, and our mind can also create different environmental moods under the same video and different music. It makes us wonder whether our feeling about picture is determined by sound. In fact, just like smell, sound and picture are different ways to express our feeling of the outside world. We will prefer enrichment stuff because video, picture, color and taste itself are not stereoscopic. In addition, our mind is stereoscopic and our mood is also stereoscopic, so one object (just one picture or audio) cannot build authentic image in our mind. So, the lacking object will be compensated by our mind through imagination, then immersive experience can be created. Thus, when different pictures are used to make a video, it will help our mind to fill in these blanks.
