Personal Project Idea: How does it feel when you...?

This project idea stemmed from some of the sound design techniques I have been learning over the couple of years, in particular, the sound design masterclass with Glenn Freemantle that I attended during the summer. In that masterclass, he told us that he tries to design sound based on how it feels when a certain situation is happening. The example he gave was his work in 127 hours. As that is based on the experience of a real person, he asked what it felt like at certain points and then based the sound design on how it felt; essentially making it sound how it felt. To see what I mean I'll link a scene below:

Particularly in the end of this scene, the electric guitars represent how it felt. Freemantle described it as how the pain rushes through your body like lightning.

So, the project I am proposing so far is an exploration of this idea of how feelings can be reflected through sound. What I am considering right now is either having a series of situations or one situation and reflecting what each feeling of either each situation or each person in the situation might sound like. What I am also hoping to achieve, is making the audience feel some of how the characters feel.

In a tutorial with Kathleen I had today, she mentioned looking at site specific recording, whether I can use the acoustics of a location for effect, how I could also think about how I would present the work in a gallery environment. She also linked me to some further research to look at to develop my idea.
