The Making of centers around a 3D VR 360 camera and employs a pseudo-documentary format with a “film within a film” metacinema approach to portray the onsite filming and things that happen behind the scenes. When using 3D VR 360 to make films, the VR camera’s viewing angle is divided into four areas or angles including front, rear, left, and right. The front viewing angle is where the cast of the film Spy Love play their roles in the film, presenting “a film within a film”. The rear view is the director team of Spy Love while the left and right views show Midi Z’s filming crew. The director of Spy Love is using a dangerous immersive method to push the cast to play their roles.
