Recent developments in cinematic VR open up vital questions around how much this new mode can draw on established cinematic paradigms, such as linear narrative progression, techniques of montage, and emotional engagement via identification with diegetic characters. In this talk, PhD candidate Adam Daniel examines VR’s potential as a medium of ethical experience. He expands ethical experience beyond an intellectual consideration of moral or ethical dilemmas, to examine how images can affect us in a multimodal sense: cognitively, but also emotionally, corporeally, and sensorially. Dr Robert Sinnerbrink presents a response to Adam’s talk, and the two sit down for a Q&A with the audience.

Adam's talk: 0.00 - 24min
Robert's response: 24min - 45min
Q & A: 45min - 1hr 13min
