Creating 360 experiences for arts and cultural audiences

February 15, 2019 @ 10:30 am - 4:00 pm

The Space, with funding from Arts Council England, in partnership with The Philharmonia Orchestra, present a free workshop exploring how arts organisations can use 360 video and audio to offer audiences an immersive and memorable experience. Using illustrations from the sector, arts organisations and producers will demystify some of the common questions around the creation of 360 content.  With a mix of live examples, case studies and small group work, we’ll consider the following:

• Why use 360 video?
• The key considerations when embarking on a 360 project
• Which stories or productions work best in 360?
• What kit is needed?
• The secrets of creating an engaging audience experience
• What might success look like?
• How might you find an audience for the work?

Contributors include:
