The art of awe

I was watching this TED talk by Rob Legato a major film director. When people have certain feelings their perception to whatever is causing those emotions changes, this causes them to remember things slightly different. Instead of replicating the actually thing if we replicate it the way people remember it can cause a greater emotional impact, so the audience think they are seeing something but they haven’t actually seen anything like that before. This can used to create a building of tempo and tension that will give the audience a greater emotional impact.

This could then be used into video games, during certain events within a game the player could experience the build-up and tension that the effect of awe can create. This could be used were the player views the events of the game in a dramatic way using certain camera angles, or even by playing its events in a reverse order making them figure it out as they play through the game.
