We decided each of us would take on a different aspect of research. I enjoyed being able to delve into some of the science and academic studies of misophonia using google scholar though found that there wasn’t a great deal of information out there; consolidating my view that misophonia is a worthwhile topic to create a discussion around. Some of the research felt a bit beyond my level of understanding but contributed to a wider knowledge of misophonia. I think it was important to research the topic in depth before the interview phase to be aware of the aspects of misophonia we wanted to explore and to have an appropriate sensitivity to our subjects.
Based on this research and exploration of existing coverage of misophonia we became very aware that any existing films broaching the subject would actually contain ‘triggering’ imagery and noises; making them unwatchable by sufferers of misophonia.
It became clear that the aim of our film would then be to provide those with misophonia something to relate to, rather than just educating those unaware of its existence.
