Archaeological Insights through Cinematic Techniques: Enhancing Visual Interpretations of Ancient Mediterranean Cultures

Abstract

This paper explores the innovative application of cinematic techniques in the realm of Mediterranean archaeology, offering a novel perspective on the interpretation of ancient visual art. By integrating film methodologies such as push-pull, rotation, and close-up镜头语言, we introduce a multidimensional approach to the analysis of archaeological artifacts and sites. The strategic use of color in film further enriches our understanding of ancient aesthetics, prompting archaeologists to adopt these color techniques to create more vibrant and engaging visual reconstructions. This synthesis of cinematic skills and archaeological inquiry not only enhances the preservation and presentation of cultural heritage but also opens up new avenues for exploring the Hominid Biological and Cultural evolution. As film art continues to evolve, it holds the promise of inspiring and transforming archaeological research, particularly in the context of Mediterranean and adjacent regions, thereby fostering a deeper appreciation of ancient civilizations.
