Virtual reality and 360⁰ storytelling
Virtual Reality and 360⁰ storytelling is a burgeoning area, and this session attempts to make sense of a new industry backed by major players and billions of dollars.
But there seem to be more questions than answers. Can Virtual Reality ever be anything more than a toy for gamers? How do you tell a meaningful story in 360⁰? Why would anyone want to wear a headset in their living room? Are consumers actually generating compelling content themselves? Finally, is there any money to be made, and if so, where are the opportunities for producers, commissioners and platforms?
The Night Manager: Anatomy of a Hit
Nominated for 12 Primetime Emmys, it has been one of the most talked about series of the year and close to 10m viewers watched the finale on the BBC. Press reaction was overwhelmingly positive in both broadsheets and tabloids, and viewers were glued to their seats on Sunday nights.
This session, richly illustrated with clips, will tell the inside story of how the book was transformed into the series that had the nation talking.
Visit BBC Bristol's Natural History Unit
This is your chance to meet the NHU face to face; view excerpts from and discuss their latest visual feast, Life in the Air; and find out more about wildlife film-making by putting questions to some of their most experienced producers on anything from innovative shooting techniques and specialist equipment to their approach to ethical issues and social media.
