Virtual reality(VR)films are beginning to take the stage in the era of everchanging technology,opening up a new chapter in the film industry.VR technology has given VR movies immersive,interactive,and imaginative features,bringing audiences a multi-sensory viewing experience and a different emotion from traditional movies.Most of the current research is aimed at exploring suitable attention-guiding methods in VR movie creation to help creators better express the content,while ignoring the role of emotional elements in it.Therefore,the text constructs a spatial guidance model for VR movies based on emotional design,combining the theoretical basis of emotional design and exploring the spatial guidance methods of VR movies at three levels:the instinctive level,the behavioral level and the reflective level,aiming to help creators better use VR movies to narrate,convey emotions and give viewers a better experience,and also hoping to provide new ideas and perspectives for the creation and practice of VR movies.Firstly,this paper studies the characteristics of VR movies and the threelevel structure of emotional design,and clarifies the importance of emotional design for VR movies from the creator’s perspective and the viewer’s perspective.Secondly,through the study of perceptual salience theory in cognitive psychology and VR movie case study,the functional,participatory and artistic characteristics of VR movie space-guided emotional design are summarized.Then,the theoretical framework and spatial guidance model based on emotional design are constructed based on the above research and case analysis,and the spatial guidance mode of VR film is argued from three aspects:instinctive layer,behavioral layer,and reflective layer,so as to lay the theoretical foundation for the subsequent practical creation.Finally,the design and practice of VR short film"The Gift" is carried out to apply the spatial guidance model of VR film based on emotional design to the actual creation.Firstly,the design points of spatial guidance of instinctive layer and spatial guidance of behavioral layer are elaborated,and then the experimental design such as questionnaire research and interview is used to analyze the design effect of spatial guidance on reflective layer in order to verify the feasibility of this topic’s viewpoint,hoping that it can bring inspirational effect and reference value to the subsequent research of emotional expression in VR film creation. |
