The starting point for working on the VR experience was within the field of traditional filmmaking, its production structure and its framing of the creator-consumer relationship. We worked with an awareness of a need for a paradigm shift within the new medium. During the module, we will present the initial assumptions, the process of transformation, and how these are situated within the larger changes which we are all participants in.
The focus of the studio was the relationship between creator and viewer in immersive media and the resulting problem of combining authorial narrative and interactivity, related to the narrative paradox. Over the course of the project, through collaboration with interdisciplinary teams, we developed various strategies to address these issues.
