In the filmic language system,a type of camera movement embodies a way of watching.Aerial footage characterized by overlooking provides us with a new way of watching the world transcendentally.Such footage frees the camera from in-situ constraints and creates a visual form with basic features such as long shots,decentering,and little depth at the level of the image,which,combined with the inherent movement of film,ultimately forms a way of watching and a path of perception that is not anthropocentric.Looking back at the history of aerial footage,we can easily find that it is deeply connected to war,whose unique visual representation techniques and methods of constructing meaning are presented in specific film texts,thus greatly facilitating the development of film language.
