Abstract: This paper investigates the challenges involved in adapting traditional film editing techniques for Virtual Reality (VR) films, with a particular focus on developing effective scene transitions that sustain narrative flow and enhance viewer immersion. It analyzes conventional editing methods and juxtaposes them against the unique demands of VR, leading to the proposal of solutions tailored to the immersive nature of VR. These solutions employ techniques such as the Dramatic Covenant, Long Take, and Field of View (FOV) adjustments, which are designed to improve spatial continuity and boost audience engagement in VR environments. The findings reveal that, although traditional techniques lay a fundamental groundwork, the unique characteristics of VR require a specialized approach that honors the viewer's immersive experience and their interaction within the narrative space. By developing practical strategies for filmmakers, this paper makes a contribution to the evolving field of VR films, thereby deepening our understanding of its unique narrative capabilities.
