1 What you are researching? How you are researching it? & Why it is important to research this subject?
My research direction is VR film direction, in 2015, when Virtual Reality (VR) technology and film and media met, various VR products have appeared in the new technology showcase. I consulted various materials online to study the analysis and development trend of VR film production methods, technical features, and expressive art techniques.
In today’s society, new media companies such as Netflix, Hulu and YouTube have joined the ranks of VR film and television content production, and Hollywood has long been producing VR films. For the average viewer, the immersive experience of VR film and television makes the viewing experience more realistic, and it is impossible to estimate how much of an impact and influence VR technology will have on the traditional film and television industry. It is undeniable that VR technology will not only affect the traditional way of watching films and TV dramas, but will also drive changes in the way people consume entertainment, offering people the possibility to interact and dialogue with the world and perceive it in its full dimension. As a new technology, VR technology has brought many questions and thoughts to the academic community, and of course the pursuit of interactive features in VR technology is the future trend.
It is a mind blowing experience to see VR films with VR machine. People who would never have a chance to sit in a refugee camp in Jordan and see how life is there, they can visualize things through this film. Their decision will affect millions of life and while watching the movie, they will find themselves right into the spot with the film characters. This out of the world experience will encourage more film makers to create VR films and this can bring changes to the people other side of the film. This is the true power of VR.So I chose to study the subject of VR as a direction

Technical Aesthetics ： Technical aesthetics, a combination of technology and aesthetics. Technology, the disciplinary technique of putting the results of scientific research into productive practice, and Aesthetics, Aesthetic, a human activity of experiencing life in the world of imagery, a spiritual and cultural activity of mankind. Technical aesthetics, on the other hand, is a way of translating the results of scientific research into artistic production practice, a fusion of technology and aesthetics and the values produced
Immersive experience ：People enter a state of immersion when they are fully engaged in the situation, paying attention and filtering out all irrelevant perceptions during the activity.
VR film technology： Virtual reality films. Virtual reality generates a three-dimensional environment with the help of computer systems and sensor technology, creating a new way of human-computer interaction, simulating the functions of human sensory organs such as vision, hearing and touch, enabling people to immerse themselves in a virtual realm where the audience can walk into a film scene and view their surroundings in 360 degrees
Audiovisual language ：Audio-visual language is a kind of perceptual language that uses the rational arrangement of audiovisual stimuli to communicate a certain message to the audience, including the content of images, sound and editing.

I went through some scientific articles on VR technology and VR film production methods, as well as the relevance of VR technology and aesthetics, to validate and support my views on VR film analysis. Film and media is a product of modern technological development, and VR film and television, the best embodiment of the latest VR technology used in film and media, is also the perfect combination of technology and film and television, and goes one level deeper in the viewing experience. VR technology will not only affect the traditional way of watching film and television dramas, but will also drive changes in the way people consume entertainment.
