ABSTRACT

The introduction of drone technology in Film production has significantly transformed visual aesthetics, particularly in terms of capturing expansive landscapes, dynamic aerial shots, and otherwise inaccessible perspectives. Drone Imagery has given filmmakers the ability to introduce innovative and dynamic visuals that elevate the storytelling experience. Using the content analytical approach of the qualitative research method, the researchers appraised the application of drone imageries in selected Nollywood films. Findings show that the application of drone imageries in visual storytelling not only elevates the aesthetic quality of films but also enables filmmakers to depict the richness of Nigeria's landscapes and urban environments. The research concluded that the integration of drone technology into film-making in Nigeria has further revolutionized visual storytelling in Nollywood and, as such, has become imperative on scholars to further appraise its contributions to the overall film experience in Nigeria.
