How do I know what to make an "Experience" or a "Key Moment" for my project?

When carrying out any research study, the principles of the scientific method are used to prepare and carefully plan in order to ensure that the study will directly answer the question being posed.
The same is true for a research study using Affect-tag RX. 

Before signing into the web application and creating a project, it is advisable to plan out the methodology of the research study.

Some helpful questions to ask:
  1. What is the purpose of the study?
  2. What test cases are being directly compared?
  3. What is the expected outcome?
  4. What are the key moments of interest?
  5. Separate key moments into "snapshots" of emotional experiences and longer "phases".
  6. How many participants will I need to recruit?
  7. Who will be my collaborators on this project?
From the answers to these questions, it should be clear what the Experiences and Key Moments will be.
