Creating videos for YouTube and TikTok has become second nature to the digital generation. Whether for fun, artistic expression, or social justice, young people are naturally using the latest media tools to express themselves. Students in the Digital Media programme at the Singapore University of Social Sciences have been learning a new visual language through a course in VR Filmmaking. By leveraging the artistic and design elements of cinematic VR360 filmmaking, such as visual composition, spatial storytelling, immersion, presence, and embodiment, students have been able to create intimate stories of social importance. These stories emphasise space, place, and their meaning in society, blending technical proficiency with creative expression. This paper analyses two student projects: the Disappearing Dover Forest and the little-known historical Japanese Cemetery Park in Singapore, showcasing how VR filmmaking serves as a powerful medium for immersive social and sustainable storytelling.

摘要

Creating videos for YouTube and TikTok has become second nature to the digital generation. Whether for fun, artistic expression, or social justice, young people are naturally using the latest media tools to express themselves. Students in the Digital Media programme at the Singapore University of Social Sciences have been learning a new visual language through a course in VR Filmmaking. By leveraging the artistic and design elements of cinematic VR360 filmmaking, such as visual composition, spatial storytelling, immersion, presence, and embodiment, students have been able to create intimate stories of social importance. These stories emphasise space, place, and their meaning in society, blending technical proficiency with creative expression. This paper analyses two student projects: the Disappearing Dover Forest and the little-known historical Japanese Cemetery Park in Singapore, showcasing how VR filmmaking serves as a powerful medium for immersive social and sustainable storytelling.
