A summary of all the work and research carried out during the posts below has been compiled into a 10 minute video explaining results, theories and where I will be taking the project. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQH99JLhrSc

Here is the audio track I'll be using for the sound emotion test, now renamed Sound Emotion & Immersion Test (SEIT) as questions based on immersion of the sound have now been added. Sounds were gathered based on certain characteristics discussed previously.

I've had problems printing the questionnaire which has caused a lot of the research to be pushed back, I hope to have questionnaires completed and analysed this week so I can crack on with the next stages. 

Sounds were recorded/created or sourced (lions roar, babies cry). Sounds were chosen on their characteristics and categorised as:

- Animal (Dog bark, Dog whine, Dog snort, Pig squeal, Lion roar, Birds)

- Tonal (Chimes, Metal clang, Knife sharpen, Church bell)

- Environmental (Thunder, Soft rain, Hard rain)

- Mechanical (Engine ignition, Vacuum, Engine rev)

- General [every day sounds] Boiling kettle, Door slam, Shut & Creak, Toilet flush, Car horn, Car alarm, Siren)

- No association [no obvious source] (Crushed ice, Squelching mop, Sticky Tape)

- Noise (Radio transmission, Hissing boiler)

- Human (Crying baby)

- Other (Splintering wood, Glass smash, Heavy crash, Fire, Explosion, Gentle splash)

Generally the sounds selected are not found in the IADS tests which is why they were selected. Some were chosen that are also in the IADS research to give a comparison and see if there will be a correspondence in similar results for the same sort of sounds. Only a small number of sounds were used as these tests are only preliminary, acting as a small guide towards sourcing sounds. I will use results from this as well as other research gathered when creating soundtracks for film clips.
