Immersive Cinema

This theoretical bachelor thesis aims to analyze “immersive” film from formal and narrative perspective. Immersivity is discussed through three primary elements: image, sound and theme. These categories are exemplified on two highly “immersive” films, Son of Saul (dir. László Nemes) and Gravity (dir. Alfonso Cuarón). The specific aspects of these films are transgressing the film medium itself, evoking physical reactions in spectators and therefore becoming distinct from the “classically” shot films
