Based on the insights and strategies delineated in the article, I have come to appreciate how well-articulated filming and editing strategies can intricately weave together the natural tendencies of a visitor's focus with the art of sculpting a cohesive and immersive 360 VR video experience. Therefore, before filming this project, I will conduct a thorough analysis of the potential POIs in each scene, identifying elements that naturally draw attention due to their distinctiveness or movement. Locations will also be chosen based on their potential to offer naturally compelling POIs. Thinking of a storyboard will also be important to visualize the progression and transitions. While editing, I will integrate various cues - ranging from sound effects to visual shifts - to guide or refocus the visitor's attention where necessary, ensuring a balanced approach that maintains immersion.


While watching the “Dinner Party”, I was continuously drawn to the meticulous artistry that went into crafting its soundscape and the vivid scenes. The dialogues serve as a narrative anchor, guiding the audience through the unfolding events with clarity and providing necessary context, making the transition between the dinner party setup and the UFO encounter more fluid and grounded. Later, the video includes low-frequency rumbling or mechanical noises that create a sense of immense scale and power, hinting at the advanced and potentially menacing nature of the UFO, thus amplifying the tension and fear in the scene. Moreover, the authentic room setting stands as a grounding entity, a space that resonates with tangible reality and historical authenticity. The particle system, on the other hand represents the abstract, surreal, and even terrifying aspects of UFO encounter. I realize that the artistry lies in the delicate balance achieved between the tangible and the intangible, the known and the unknown, the reality and the abstract.


The other video that I chose to watch is the BBC Earth: Total Solar Eclipse: 360 VR Video Seen From Space | Earth From Space. The entire film envelops the audience in an experience that is both unique and transformative. However, in this immersive journey through space to witness the solar eclipse, the viewer might find themselves slightly adrift, lacking those distinct POIs that usually anchor the attention and foster a deeper connection with the unfolding phenomena. Despite this, the captions emerge as a pivotal part in this video, offering well-placed insights that guide the viewers steadily through. They not only add a layer of educational depth but also foster a guided exploration, connecting viewers to the content in a meaningful way. The sound engineering also seems to be meticulously crafted to resonate with the grandeur of space, offering a cool, serene, and expansive auditory canvas that beautifully complements the visual narrative.
