The subject of my keystone is clairvoyance - misconceptions and what it truly is according to those in that field.
The finished product will be a hybrid of a product based and research based product. For the product base, I will be making a mini-movie that I will show at my presentation. In this mini-movie, I will show clips of people I have interviewed, each answering the following three questions: "What do you think clairvoyance is?", "What do you think clairvoyants, that is, people who are clairvoyant, can do?" and finally, "Do you think clairvoyance is real?". For the second part of the video, I will show filmed interviews with select clairvoyants who use clairvoyance as a means of living. Additionally, I plan to intersperse these interview clips with other clips of students of said clairvoyants.
The research based part of my keystone will be a short paper on clairvoyance in history. In my paper, I will look into where is has shown up, and according to historical trends, why is was portrayed positively or negatively. I will also research what forms it appears in - in a story, fact, or misconception. To sum up my paper, I will go into how the view on clairvoyance in its many forms has changed.
For my presentation, I will first give a summary of how clairvoyance has appeared in history, and how it's forms have changed, fully showing the transfer from many years ago to modern day. I will then give a precursor to my mini-movie, which I will then show. After the mini movie is done, I will conclude my presentation.
