3-Dimensional Stereoscopic (3DS) and Virtual Reality (VR) productions are generating new artistic concepts and techniques to enable them to take full advantage of the emotive power of these media that incorporate the perception of depth. This paper looks at how the authors are using innovative `visual grammar' in some 3DS film and VR productions. They are exploring how the creative aesthetics of these media can enhance the art of storytelling, and improve the user experience for stereoscopic displays and VR headsets.
