Isolating experience; Emotional journey

On the train on the way home yesterday, i thought about how difficult it would be to try to make someone else have the exact same experience as you.

In the lesson during the day, i realised that there was a sense of frustration at the the problem of 'interpretation', and that using different types of media (sound files, video etc) to express an experience (no matter how high-tech), would always be flawed!

So, i thought maybe i should try to decontruct an experience, and try to isolate the feelings that went with the experience, and then try to take the user through an emotional journey

This would be rather than trying to create a specific ambience through different media, and hoping that they'd feel the same way if the conditions were right

For example, my experiences last week i.e. PC problems:

Frustration
Repetiton (i kept hoping different combinations of actions would have the desired effect)
hope (when i thought it was going to work... then...)
Hopelessness
Feeling i was wasting my time
Dismay
Irritation

And the list goes on... As this was quite a one-dimensional experience (the same feelings over and over again, pretty much...) i thought it would be a pretty good place to start.

The list again in order was:

Excitement (getting my new pc out of the box)
Impatience (waiting for it to boot up)
Optimism (when i thought i would be a short setup)
Disappointment (when it didnt work straight away)
Hope (When i thought... never mind. i can sort this)
Frustration (When i couldnt)
Hope (tried something else)
Frustration

..... (you get the picture)
Then i went out, forgot about it
Came back and (tada! it worked)
Pleased!

I started trying to work out how to recreate these experiences. I started off with frustration as it was the easiest...
