Research

To use a technology, I’d like to know it little bit better. The followings are some papers I found.

Responding to Adapting, modifying and applying cinematography and editing concepts and techniques to cinematic virtual reality film production

The study provided some new take-ons of traditional ideas in cinema. What does 180 rule mean in a VR world?   What does editing mean in Cinematic Virtual Reality? How the audience’s focus was layout out in a 360 environment? How may a director then manipulate the attention? I find all these topics significant to contemplate. However, the author obviously took a case study on his own production, therefore, the intention was first-handly clear but without any proof.

Additionally, the author quoted himself from his PhD thesis.

“This form of filmmaking differs from traditional VR whereby the virtual world is typically generated through graphic processing and audio elements in real time (Zhang, 2020).”

The author considers real-time graphics inferior to pre-rendered picture because he continues to quote the following

“However, Mateer (2017) suggests that CVR uses pre-rendered picture and sound elements exclusively, which means the quality of the filmmaking assets begins to resemble high-end television or feature film standards.”

I don’t  agree with the author. I think pre-rendered and real-time pictures can go hand-in-hand at where they are suitable

Nevertheless, I can learn from the practical problem and solutions from this article.
