Using the input image of the helicopter flying over a burning city in daylight, create an 8–10 second cinematic 16:9 shot where the camera moves backwards while the helicopter flies straight towards the camera. At the start of the shot, the helicopter is medium distance in front of the camera, facing the viewer, flying low over a modern city. The camera is positioned slightly above the helicopter’s nose, looking down and forward, so we see the rotor spinning on top, the cockpit windows and the burning city below. As the clip plays, the helicopter keeps flying forward in a straight line, gradually getting closer and larger in frame, while the camera performs a smooth backward dolly move to maintain a comfortable distance. The motion should feel like a controlled aerial tracking shot from an action movie, not shaky. Below, several buildings continue to burn: bright orange flames in windows, thick grey smoke rising into a clear blue sky. From time to time, new explosions appear far below and in the distance — short, stylised firebursts and expanding smoke on a few isolated rooftops. No people, no vehicles and no debris are visible; the streets look empty, as if the area has already been evacuated. Lighting stays consistent with a sunny daytime scene: strong directional sunlight from one side, clean blue sky, light atmospheric haze softening the far skyline. The helicopter is always the clear focal point in the centre of the frame, with the city and explosions supporting the sense of scale. Do not add any HUD, targeting reticles, text overlays or UI elements; keep the look purely realistic and cinematic.
