For research I looked at really wide variety of 360 films on youtube. I found this rollercoaster film which I thought was great at first because one the one hand you can look at the view, and where the rollercoaster is going to go next, and on the other hand you can look the other direction, towards all the people who are screaming as they go over the drops.
I did find however that the movement was a bit too much and made me feel quite motion sick as I watched it so I decided that that wasn't something I wanted to incorporate into my piece if I could avoid it.
This next one I really liked because of how simple it was, and easy to execute. What made it interesting was the content. This is something I'm going to draw on in my own piece. When I first saw this film I thought it was CGI but the people who posted it have confirmed in the comments section that is is not digitally engineered.
It's got beautiful lighting and is really simple and minimalistic in its design (for want of a better word), as in its literally just grassland and sky. Plus elephants. Which is a pretty big part of it.
We were working in pairs for this project, and with my partner Nicole we came up with the idea of doing an observational 360 film.
We began running through various locations that we could use to shoot at, and Nicole suggested her Grandads art studio that he has at the back of his house. Talking it over and hearing about all the eccentric objects he stored in there was enough for us to decide that this would be a great place to make our film.
We would booked out the 360 equipment to take to Nicole's grandads house and set up in his studio. We would then let the camera run and add sound later on.
