Abstract

The PhD project presented in this paper introduces a proposal for an epistemological paradigm addressed to the creation of interactive immersive fiction films. In order to provide conceptual tools for the analysis and creation of a fluent and engaging interactive VR narrative, the study investigates the convergence of aesthetics, storytelling and interactivity. These theoretical foundations lead to the practical production of an interactive immersive film prototype. The main objective is to create a fluent interactive cinematographic experience in which the final feeling for the user is the sensation of having lived the story, with some degree of agency inside it.
