Everyone has been bullied or put in a position of vulnerability, even people in power. Before social media, bullying would occur through physical confrontations, however this abuse has become inescapable with the aid of online anonymity. In today’s day and age, online bullying has become easier than ever for online trolls to isolate their victim. Through this 360 film and use of spatial audio, we provide one insight into how this kind of toxicity affects the online gaming environment, by immersing the viewers directly into the lives of both the victim and the bully. The 180/180 feature positions the viewers in between the lives of both protagonists, where juxtapositions between the relationships with their parents and their mental stability illustrates their individual sufferings.
