Abstract
I created a 360-video horror short film that should be watched in virtual reality headset. The film is about a pair of neighbors, Mina and Seth. Mina and Seth are both college students who meet at the beginning of the academic year. As we follow them through their college journey the viewer will get to watch Seth become obsessed with Mina. Eventually, Seth drills a hole in their shared wall and becomes a peeping tom. This hole is how the viewer will experience the 360-video effect. The viewer can watch Mina in her dorm but when they turn around, they can also watch Seth descend into madness over his obsession with Mina. The film then shows the juxtaposition of Mina and Seth’s growing friendship and Seth’s obsession with Mina. When Mina decides to move out of the country Seth, in a fit of rage, murders her and while he is distraught after killing Mina, he then kills himself.
