Project one sensory and ethnography

Project one sensory and ethnography

For my final hand in for project one, im taking a more abstract approach towards this experiment for understanding my sensory ethnographic.  I will reveal the experience of using vicks as a task given to the person doing the experiment without actually using vicks.

This experiment will be based on when you have blocked sineses, heavy headed, cant breath through your nose, and basically cant concentrate on something with these things happening to you. So you would then apply or use  'vicks' in how ever means to help these disadvantages. With what you feel when you use vicks, is a soothing sensation, and relieving to the mind and body and you feel brand new and fresh, so there for you can concentrate and do things faster better etc.

How i am going to go about doing this project is have the experimenter take on and do the given task, but while doing this task he/she will be hindered by noises by headphones, nosies of outside people, videos, images and a variety of videos to be very distracting to the person, whilst they are trying to concentrate on the given task. then affter doing the task, tell them to take the headphones off and redo the task, this time time there will be no noises around them and they will be able to concentrate on the given task more easier, and faster, and better.

This will show he sensorys of how i portrayed the vicks sensation above.
i will concentrate on the 'Reliefness' sensation, from facial expressions during the experiment through video and pictures at certain points. and how they react with/without hindering outside noises.  


Ill also take into consideration how fast the do each task, how easy, and if they get it right in the end. from which i will make a graph of my findings.

BRIEF ONE! PART A!

BRIEF ONE! PART A!




This culture is of using vicks at night after having troubles with sleeping cause you cant breath through your nose.  first picture depicts grasping the vicks punnet, clutched with both hands real hopeful. feels so cold, wondering how does this help me. With sight i feel thats the right thing to as if obliged to close my eyes, but in doing so, its as if you can see this healing vapour stream out of the punnet in through your nostril into your body. its own unique smell. its real piercing aroma, that you just really want to take and inhale to break this barrier to feel better and or normal again.

second picture is of rubbing the vicks onto my chest. the solution is real gooey as if wiping vasiline over your body. after rubbing it in, this gooey cold solution like reacts and and his distinct heat blast over in your body. this feels as if its warming your body. This sight is portrays satisfaction and or relief when applying as if its you know that this is going to work or that it is working to feel like you can breath again. also again this unque aroma is constantly around you, as if its filling you and area around you with this healing heat vapour.



Second activity is shaving. 

first picture depicts, the touch of holding something cold and not alive to hack away and your warm living skin/hair, so with that in mind sight depicts, that there is a high level of concentration going into this action as if trying to gently hold this device and movin my body/face around to suit this device cause its so preciouus, and you know of the bad reprications.cause of this concentraion i could smell the aroma of the bathroom around me.

The next image shows the touch of feeling smooth skin, from what was rough and hairy before hand. as if discovery to the satisafcation of feeling clean and fresh. This sight shows a change in facial apperance to the facial attitude. This attitude is influenced by the change of facial appearnace. feels good about myself, a changed person. feeel clean and fresh.

  






The last activity is washing my hands with liquid soap.

feells this green goey lotion metamorphise into this real fuflly soapy texture that engulfs your skin, looks real malicious rubbing my hands together getting every crevice washed with this lotion. as if its not wanted on my my hands, knowlingly that its going to get washed off. the smell that resonates from this action, is real fresh and naturistic giving you a sense of healthness and cleanlness

ANd this one feels different as, there is a cold water, engulfing my hands swalloing up the soapy goodness and pushing it off your skin. you see how it has left your hands more cleaner, leaving a trail of its fun fresh reminnts behind.
