How might 360 filming/VR change the role of the reporter/presenter?

David Grossman, Newsnight’s Technology Correspondent, became News Labs’ first VR reporter, helping to reinvent how we to tell stories in 360. We filmed in Westminster – on College Green and Westminster Bridge, overlooking Parliament – familiar news locations transformed by 360 – and in the Daily Politics studio.

We aimed to show how VR might challenge traditional formats – such as pieces to camera and interviews – and demonstrate the impact of different camera angles. To avoid spending time on research and location permissions, we kept things simple, and created a film in VR about VR.

Here’s a short film about how it was filmed.
