Abstract

This paper presents a proposal for a screenplay writing framework for interactive VR feature films made using 360° video technology, presenting possible diegetic and extradiegetic interaction options on a pre-scripted story with different navigation alternatives. The interactive structure is based on the hero’s journey and the classic cinematographic structure in order to assure the dramatic tension of the story. The framework for an interactive VR storytelling project can be applied in a Narrative Learning context. Both VR and storytelling have the potential to favor immersion and by this means favor the construction of innovative and effective learning environments.
