Definition
This article examines the design methodology of the educational VR game Cinevoyage, which was designed by the authors, both experienced as instructors and creators in film and animation and educational game design industries. Cinevoyage is designed as an educational tool for filmmaking and animation students with the aim of enhancing their knowledge and skills on cinematic storytelling. In this article the term cinematic storytelling refers to telling a story with moving images with respect to disciplines like scriptwriting, film grammar, cinematography, and editing. Thus, any kind of film and digital video making and drawn or computer-generated animations can be considered as a product of cinematic storytelling, if the created content is aimed at telling a story in any way, which can create emotional responses in the audience. Educational institutions teaching...
