Base overview- CCDN231
My experiment included having a clear area where they make the Milo to give a sparse base. From
there the individual, Liam, had to scrape the Milo out of a bag, with hardly any granules left and he had to
also boil the water on an element instead of simply using a jug or microwave. I also had Liam use watered
down milk and sweetener instead of whole milk and sugar as an aspect of the ingredients, which was limited.
The taste aspect is clearly affected this way and obviously taste is a major part of someone’s experience and
therefore heavily influences the mood and the feeling of austerity.
CCDN231
Experiment One- Basic set out
This experiment encompassed altering the context in which the participants made the Milo.
Included within this I cleared the bench completely of anything that was not essential to their
milo. This related heavily to austerity as it took away all comfort, which optimises an austere
situation. The bench itself also reinforced this mood because it was metal, which is often related
to an industrial feel, completely opposite to a homely feel.
Experiment Two- Back to Basics
My chosen experiment was based on taking away the ease which in turn takes away the luxuries
which optimises austerity. So, in this experiment the participant had to boil the water and
scrape the Milo from the bag. I further discusss this experiment and its success’ in my rationale.
Experiment Three- Limited Ingredients
Here I limited the amount of ingredients that the participant was allowed to use as it removed
any sense of control in the situation and any abundance. This reinforces the austere nature as
austerity is focused on taking away anything luxurious.
