PANOPTIKON
Hofmann, Petr Eric ; Smetana,, Matěj (referee) ; Vaněk, Vojtěch (advisor)
The chosen output for this master's project is the creation of a 360° animated video, where the image recording is captured in all directions simultaneously. The nature of this video lies in allowing the viewer, based on their activity, to look around the environment of the ongoing action and immerse themselves in the video's environment. Each viewing of the video is unique because the viewer never sees the entire scene at once; everything around them happens in parallel, providing a nonlinear film experience not only from the narrative side but also from the visual side. The final 360° video is interactive, requiring the viewer's active participation to utilize its full potential, as most of the additional content remains hidden without activity and in a static state of the video. This video format shares the property of interactivity with the environment of digital games and can be understood as a hybrid connection of these two media. In terms of content, the project processes Jeremy Bentham's concept of the Panopticon, an architectural object where all its inhabitants should be under constant surveillance. The narrative follows the activities of five characters who, although separated from each other in isolated rooms and are under constant surveillance by the viewer in the observation room, manage to escape from the architectural construct after several unintended mistakes. The main function of the project is to emphasize visual elements strongly from both the content and formal perspectives and thus provide the viewer with an extraordinary experience
