Firstly, I think I need to start off by saying that I am extremely excited to get to work with 360 video. The possibilities that are able to be explored are truly endless. I have a million ideas swirling in my head for what could make a good 360 video. I have landed on one that I believe has a solid narrative and can really take the reader through a story.  I have settled on the story/relationship between a dog and his/her owner.  The story can take you through a full...

Assignment 2: 360 Video Pitch Trang Tran Concept: It is the post-human architecture that we are entering. In the digital age, we will see our surroundings not through the naked eyes, but through a layer of digital information embedded and visualized by technologies. Spaces, buildings and cities will be perceived through camera lens, sensor, or scanner. They identify a scene or an object by searching for predefined relationships, patterns or geometries. The physical existence of signage and billboard will no longer be necessary. In this context, we need to start...

360 Video Pitch My 360 Video story is about “journey towards home alone”. Its aim is to combine the experiences of room escape games and suspense/thriller movies. The audience can experience the mysterious story through VR, and it will feel real because the video is shot in real places, unlike online games. SCENE/LIGHTING/AUDIO I’m going to start my first scene at night, outside. The camera will be set at an average human height to imitate audience’s eyes. The place should be a dark, quiet country road with different kinds of...

  I think a tour of the local zoo, Rosamond Gifford zoo would make for an interesting 360 degree video. A special tour of the zoo could be arranged and a riveting narrative could accompany the variety of shots. Shooting this now would be a good time as the Snow Leopards are out in the open. The video could be a fun and an educational video. By interviewing the zookeepers, we could learn about the challenges of maintaining a zoo in Syracuse. More than anything, it would be a visual...

Snow Day in the Park Instead of a snow globe we changed the idea to people having fun on a snow day in the park. We have a scene setting shot, a snowball fight, rolling down a hill, and snow angels. This idea allowed us to have more action and variety in the different shots. We filmed at Barry Park since it is a quiet and pretty area. We set the camera set at the height of an average person so it would feel like they were a part of...

I like animals very much especially dogs，so I would like to shoot a 360 VR video about little animals. I think the advantage of 360 videos is that we can see everything around us, feeling like we are right on the scene, and there must be very interesting to shoot those adorable puppies because with the 360 cameras we can see every puppy in the room. I know there is an animal shelter nearby, and I want to shoot both puppies resting inside and playing outside scenes. I think it...

I have an idea of the narrative I want to tell, but not how it will fully play out yet. However, this one scene will set the tone for the video. The scene would be a house party, with the first scene being in a large living room. The subjects will be relatively close to the camera, with some movement occurring nearby, such as dancing, talking or drinking games. For the opening scene the camera will be at a sitting level, as it is toward the beginning of the party and...

I am a filmmaker and photographer and as I continue to learn and get better at each medium the idea of hosting and curating my own gallery has become more enticing.  The only problem is renting venues is expensive, but I recently saw someone do a virtual exhibit of their paintings that wasn't 360 VR, but you could control the angle of view by clicking on different parts of the screen and walking to parts of the small 3D exhibit.  I think it be interesting to try something similar to...
