Abstract

The subject of the study is the transformation of the director's concept in the conditions of spherical cinematography. The study analyzes the peculiarities of the director's work in the omnidirectional space. New expressive means are considered, including spatial sound and multiplanar mise-en-scene, as well as changing approaches to editing and dramaturgy. Special attention is paid to the peculiarities of the viewer's perception of spherical content and the prospects for the development of this format in the film industry. The aim of this study is to examine the influence of omnidirectional space on the director's conception. The study aims to identify key changes in approaches to editing, composition and dramaturgy. The following objectives are set: to analyze the peculiarities of directorial work in 360° format; to identify new expressive means emerging in the spherical format; to determine the impact of omnidirectional narrative on the viewer's perception; to assess the prospects for the development of spherical cinema and its integration with other media. Based on the methods of comparative analysis, the paper examines the influence of omnidirectional space on directorial intent. The main conclusions of this study are that the director's usual tools are not always adapted for use in spherical space. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that the work identifies promising directions for the development of spherical cinematography. The study shows that the use of omnidirectional space requires directors to develop new expressive means and strategies of interaction with the audience. The paper offers an overview of the key problems (challenges) and opportunities of spherical cinematography, which makes it relevant for theorists and practitioners in the field of audiovisual arts and will be useful for the development of new program and methodological material for student directors of various specializations.
