Virtual Reality storytelling
research; storytelling; camera sound; editing; content management;
In the field of virtual reality and especially in cinematic VR, the focus is currently on technology development and I truly believe that research work is needed also in the connected areas like montage, storytelling, audience immersion etc. This is why my research project focuses on creating an applied dialogue between classical editing techniques in the context of 360° cinema.
