Short Video – Research through Design (2021)
Concept, Direction, Video Editing
Description
So, how are you?
Are u also tired of answering with “fine, thank you, and you?”
An outcome of a research in which I attempted to offer a new way to communicate our feelings to others. Can you get a sense of what people in this video feel, by looking at their faces and body movements?
Sharing our feelings helps to establish an emphatic connection with others, yet words are sometimes hard to find, or reveal more than we want to. We communicate naturally through body language, before we learn how to speak. Bodily responses like facial expressions, muscle tension, and so on are connected with our mood and emotions and provide a lot of information to others.
