Researchers have developed a proof-of-concept study called EMORSION to investigate how audio design in films influences audience emotional responses and immersion. The study manipulated aspects like frequency, dynamics, and directionality in audio mixes for horror and drama scenes. By combining self-reported questionnaires, physiological measures like heart rate, and motion tracking, the protocol successfully detected measurable differences in audience perception due to subtle audio changes. Findings suggest that unconventional audio mixes can lead to more varied interpretations, while conventional immersive mixes foster greater agreement among viewers. AI
