IMPACT OF DRONE TECHNOLOGY ON CONTEMPORARY NOLLYWOOD MOVIE PRODUCTION

Research Details

The integration of drones and drone technology into film production has seen a wave of advanced and developed camera shots that help in movie production, particularly in the Nollywood movie productions. This study examined impact drone technology on Gang of Lagos. Specifically, the objectives of the study include determining the frequency of drone technology usage in the Nigerian movie industry, the magnitude, prominence and messages of media frames captured with drone technology in the selected Nigerian movie at a particular time. The study adopted Technological determinism and Diffusion of Innovation theory. The study adopted the quantitative method using the content analysis to examine the contents of various scenes where drone shots were used in telling the story in the movie Gang of Lagos by Kay Jegede and Jade Osiberu The method comprises a deductive and systematic analysis, through a list of predetermined frames and media package. Purposive Sampling technique was adopted for this study.

Majority of the scenes were shot without the use of drone as drone had a limited magnitude covered in the movie, majority of the scenes were shot in Lagos, Isale Eko to be precise. The study also found out that majority of the shots that were captured by drone were centred in Isale Eko. The prominence of drone technology usage was low compared to other scenes. Drone captured more shots that were used in communicating ghetto life and movie communicated more of human interest frame. The study therefore recommended that producers should use more of drones in capturing camera shots, this would help them capture required shots in professional ways, production managers and producers should increase the usage of drone in various movie scene so as to widen the magnitude of drone usage
