Anxiety Project Outcome

I decided to stick with the test shoot for this project, mostly because i feel like being in an enclosed space on your own looks a lot more claustrophobic then the shoot with the crowds. Also, when i distorted the sound, it made it sound like the go pro sound so it just seemed to be a bit shoddy really.
I distorted the sound by panning a lot, mixing in the breathing and then adding some varying white noise.
I then synched it with the footage in audition as a reference for when i took into premiere.
After i'd done this, i decided to make sure the waveforms were ok, but apart from that i didn't want to go too crazy on colour grading. It felt natural to be natural so i kept it so. I did however add on the Turbulent Displace function around 10% to give the footage a sense of dizziness. I think this really makes the piece look a lot more strange.
My only worry about this project is not filming entirely in focus. This was the intention when filming to give the slight sense of the person feeling light headed, but in the end i think it makes it look a little bad. I also don't like the angles that i shot in due to just not handling the camera well. I think this adds to the dizzy idea too but from a cinematography perspective, i think this piece is mostly sound centric. 

I have tried to come up with ideas of making a booth for this project. The first idea was a box which you looked into to see the video with headphones available. The second idea involved purchasing a swing for the frame and hanging fabric over it so that it became a little booth in which to sit. These ideas were just not feasible in the time i had so i have decided to just present on the projector, or if i can, put onto a tv so i can use headphones.
