I feel as though the message of this film questions the morality of an invasion of privacy by the United States government. Bringing to light a possible mistrust in the true intention of these blimps. Whether it be in Kabul, Afghanistan or Aberdeen, Maryland, the film is designed to make the audience question things further.
I also really enjoy the play on words with the title of this film, the idea of a field of vision. The film is shot in a way that makes us feel as though we are both seeing the blimp from the ground level vision of people, and seeing the world from the eyes of the blimp. Stylistically I think it is clear that this done on purpose with both high angle shots that feel as if we are looking down from and sky, and low angle shots as if we were sitting on the ground with the blimp in the background. There also this constant reinforcement of a single detail, the blimp. Almost every shot incorporated the blimp whether literally we see the blimp in the far background, or symbolically like shot with the colorful balloons. Sound throughout the film is also significant with the constant almost buzzing noise that reminds one of something hoovering above. Nowhere in the film can the audience escape the presence of the blimp. And this seems intentional.
Overall the story is constructed through sound, changes in perspective, a single narration of a man, and the juxtaposition of the two blimps in Kabul, Afghanistan verses Aberdeen, Maryland. Someone seems to be always watching, leaving the audience wary and some uncomfortable. It seems although the blimps are beyond just unnatural, they feel almost unmoral when juxtaposed next to the cross and against the idea of god expressed by the man’s narration.
