In my opinion, the VR movie 6x9 about solitary confinement rooms transmit a strong experience about isolation. The room’s walls, the floating effects, and the few objects, together with the use of the light and the voice over narration make the viewer’s experience quite realistic. The texts are easy to read, however, I thought the amount of text and the simultaneous pop up difficult the reading experience. Using light and voice over narration is something that I would like to experiment with on my last project.
Moreover, this movie makes me reflect on how inhuman and inefficient are the prison systems of many countries. I believe that any person, who is deprived of contact with other human beings won’t improve his/her character. The opposite is likely to happen if the person survives to the isolation, probably will be angrier and with a more violent attitude towards others. Additionally, countries spend an enormous amount of money on isolation rooms and prison systems instead of creating rehabilitation centers were prisoners can work and contribute to society.
