Am 9. Januar 2015, zwei Tage nach dem Anschlag auf die Satire-Zeitschrift „Charlie Hebdo„, gab es eine terroristische Geiselnahme in dem jüdischen Supermarkt „Hyper Cacher“ in Paris. In dem 360° Video-Projekt „Berlin Paris Terror“ werden die Geschehnisse aus der Perspektive von drei Geiseln des Pariser Attentats erzählt.
The perpetrator shot four people in the small supermarket and held the others hostage for hours.
What makes this story special and worth remembering in the long term are the exact circumstances of the hostage-taking. Almost like a return of the NS-In this story, several Jews hide in the cellar for hours. The hostage-taker asks everyone present about their religion. One hostage is Catholic - is that why she was spared?
What happens to people who may be counting down the last minutes of their lives in the dark? How do you manage to stay human and protect others? Where does the strength come from that still sustains you? The content of the project focuses on the topic of humanity and helpfulness as a way in which society can meet the challenges of terrorism.
The film gives a brief insight in an impressive way.
Back in December, WDR used a new narrative form, the 360° video, to address the topic of terror.
VR project combines real images with animated
The focus was on the attack on the Berlin Christmas market in December 2016, which was told from the perspective of three first responders. In addition to the documentary accounts of witnesses and victims, WDR primarily relies on the use of drawn 360-degree animations to translate the feelings journalistically and artistically.
„Wir wollen eindringlich sein aber nicht verschrecken“, beschreibt Projektleiter Maik Bialk die erzählerische Gratwanderung. „Ganz bewusst haben wir dabei auf verstörende Handy-Videos von Augenzeugen verzichtet.“
Der WDR hat in den letzten Monaten bereits mehrere große journalistische VR-Projekte veröffentlicht. So gewann in diesem Jahr „360 Grad Kölner Dom“ den Grimme-Online-Award 2017, „Inside Auschwitz“ erhielt in diesem Jahre den Webvideopreis Deutschland und war ebenfalls für den Grimme-Online-Award nominiert.
