What do you need to know about aerial photography?

Aerial photography has become a particularly popular service in the last few years. Its main feature is that the object is shot from a great height. For this, quadrocopters equipped with cameras are used. The content of such a plan is actively used in advertising, as well as when creating commercials of an artistic nature. With the help of high-quality shots, you can make panoramic tours that reveal the whole atmosphere, beauty and features of the location.

Unlike conventional video filmed from the ground, aerial photography allows you to evaluate an object from a flight altitude. This is especially interesting for those who are going to invest in real estate, because you can appreciate the view from the window of a building that has not yet been built thanks to aerial photography. The most significant advantages of this type of shooting are:

  • Price. Creating a video or photo from a drone will cost significantly less than using a helicopter, crane or helicopter.
  • Mobility. To transport equipment for shooting, it is enough to use an ordinary passenger car. It is lightweight and easy to move. Connection does not require a constant source of electricity.

  • The absence of barriers. Shooting can be done at sites with restricted access.

How is aerial photography carried out?

  • Discussion. During the brief, the main task is to determine the main purpose of the video. The customer describes his ideas to the team in detail, and also provides information regarding the location. During this stage, the cost of the entire work is also discussed.
  • Shooting. Operators go to the place for shooting. Usually, two people are involved for this, since one should be responsible for the operation of the quadcopter and control it, the other works on the camera, creates photographs or videos.
  • Mounting. All the footage is viewed, after which the best shots are selected and combined into one full-fledged video with smooth transitions.

  • Voice acting. To make the video more attractive, you can add a calm musical accompaniment or make a professional text overlay.

  • Team. In some cases, it is necessary to involve a large number of specialists of different profiles. This is required for large projects when it is necessary to simultaneously shoot from different angles.
  • Treatment. It is not necessary to do this, since in some cases it is enough for the customer to transfer all the footage on electronic media. If you need to deal with the elimination of lighting defects, extraneous noise and other types of processing, you need to pay extra for this
