This study explores the impact of lighting on mise-en-scène in VR animation and its role in visual immersion and emotional engagement. Back to the Moon, a VR film by Google Spotlight Stories, was chosen as the case study. Five key sequences were analyzed to see how lighting elements—color temperature, directionality, intensity, and shadow rendering—operate within each scene. Lighting was classified as artificial or natural according to its use. Findings show that lighting interacts with other mise-en-scène components to guide attention, convey emotion, shape spatial perception, and support narrative development. The study highlights lighting as a vital directorial tool for VR animation and offers insights for effective design in immersive content.
