Mainly used for military purposes in the 80s and 90s, drones did start to see use in industrial sectors through the early 2000s. For example, corporations began using them to inspect pipelines or spray crops with pesticides. However, they remained costly tools, out of reach for the everyday consumer.<\/p><p>If you wanted to capture epic, jaw-dropping aerials for your film, the only way to do it was to hire a helicopter. While the shots looked great, it was costly. Peter Jackson\u2019s Lord of The Rings trilogy is a great example of helicopter footage used for big blockbusters in the early 2000s.<br \/>\n\n    <iframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/jm0wz0ZlYqc\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen class=\"youtube-video\"><\/iframe>\n\n<\/p><p>Thankfully for us \u2013 the independent filmmakers and creatives who don\u2019t have tens of thousands of dollars to spend on a helicopter \u2013 things have really changed in recent years! 2013 saw DJI release the Phantom 1, and since then, we\u2019ve never really looked back.<\/p><p>Through innovation and competition, drones have changed filmmaking landscaping for the best, making epic aerial shots far more accessible and achievable for the masses. Nowadays, practically every videographer has a drone in their backpack. There are so many options on the market we\u2019ve even had to create a <a href=\"https:\/\/artlist.io\/blog\/drone-buyer-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>drone buyer guide<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to help!<\/span><\/p><p>If you\u2019ve just recently got your hands on a drone or want to level up your flying skills, read on.<\/p><h2>How to use drone footage<\/h2><p>Over the last 10 years, we\u2019ve seen how drone cinematography can be used for all kinds of different scenarios. Drones are fantastic because they enable us to operate a camera in a fully three-dimensional sense, capturing a different angle and perspective that was previously impossible. This has ensured drones are used for various purposes in filmmaking.<\/p><h3>Setting the scene in vlogs and documentaries<\/h3><p>For as long as filmmaking has existed, cinematographers have used wide shots to set the scene and introduce an audience to a location. Naturally, drone cinematography is perfect for this! Whether it\u2019s a vlog on YouTube or a nature documentary, a beautiful, wide shot of a landscape or a city helps place your story and introduce your audience to a scene. You can find plenty of great examples of this type of drone shot on Artlist.<\/p><p>\n    <div class=\"clipsContainer\" id=\"69cffb22e9753\"><\/div>\n\n    <script>\n

smart to brush up on your drone filming techniques. Below, we\u2019ve got a few top tips for you.<\/p><h3>Plan your flight<\/h3><p>While throwing your drone up immediately and starting to shoot can be tempting, you\u2019ll probably waste your battery and not capture everything you need. Before the flight, analyze the location and compile a shot list. If you plan in the days beforehand, you can even use tools like Google Earth or the <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/sun-seeker-tracker-compass\/id330247123\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>Sun Seeker app<\/b><\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to know and understand where the light will fall when you\u2019re there. This will ensure you get everything you need and have enough battery power.<\/span><\/p><h3>Know your settings<\/h3><p>While most consumer drones are ready to fly and shoot straight out of the box, it pays to tinker with the settings and understand what will give you the best aerial cinematography. For example, you\u2019ll want to take a look at the highest resolution you can film in and what codec is available. This choice can drastically improve the quality of your image (as well as the file size). Understanding <a href=\"https:\/\/artlist.io\/blog\/white-balance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><b>how to correctly white balance<\/b><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, expose the image, and focus are also important skills.<\/span><\/p><p>When you\u2019re really comfortable with your drone, you can even play around with the controller&#8217;s sensitivity, determining how quickly or slowly a drone reacts to your movements and how the actual camera gimbal operates.<\/p><h3>Shoot a flat image<\/h3><p>When I say \u201cflat\u201d, I mean that you should shoot your footage in the flattest LOG profile possible \u2013 hardly any color or contrast. One of the key aspects of making any footage look cinematic is color grading. So when you shoot a nice flat image with your drone, you have as much flexibility as possible to color grade it and create a really cinematic image, exactly how you envisioned.<\/p><h3>Use an ND filter<\/h3><p>When you\u2019re flying with a drone, nine times out of ten, you\u2019ll be flying outdoors, and this means you\u2019re working with a lot of natural light that\u2019s out of your control. Often, the image will be too bright and overexposed. Rather than upping the shutter speed (which would produce footage that isn\u2019t really cinematic), using an ND filter on your drone keeps things correctly exposed. It\u2019s like putting a pair of sunglasses on your drone camera (don\u2019t do this).<\/p><h3>Composition<\/h3><p>One of the key aspects of filmmaking that applies no matter what camera you\u2019re using is composition. Chances are, you\u2019ve already heard about the rule of thirds, and this is a technique that applies up in the air, too. You can enable the grid marker on your flight app to line things up. A good rule of thumb is to keep the sky in the top third of the frame while using vertical lines to place your subjects of interest.&lt;<\/p><p>Additionally, keep an eye out for things that look pleasing to your eye \u2013 shapes, patterns, and symmetry. All kinds of things reveal themselves when we\u2019re presented with the birdseye perspective.<\/p><p>Finally, make use of foreground and background. The drone is flying through a three-dimensional space, and you want to make the most of that. If you capture a wide landscape shot without any focal point or anything near the drone, the image may feel a little \u201cflat\u201d and two-dimensional. By adding something to the foreground (a tree, a building, or a mountain summit), you suddenly add depth and interest to the image.<\/p>\n    <div class=\"clipsContainer\"

If you take a look at any great drone shot, ask yourself why it\u2019s so great. It\u2019s because there\u2019s motion in the frame \u2013 things are passing through it, and the drone is always on the move. Flying through an environment and keeping things moving keeps an audience engaged and interested \u2013 even if it\u2019s just a slow pan forward. Stationary drone shots are typically not as intriguing.<\/p><h3>Pay attention to your speed<\/h3><p>Yes, a drone is a new toy, and of course, we all want to see the maximum speed, but speed does not translate well to great aerial footage. Slowing things down tends to produce much better aerial cinematography. It allows your audience to take in more of the scene and ensure the footage is buttery-smooth and stable. When flying at speed and suddenly making quick changes of direction, the result can be quite jarring to watch, snapping you out of the moment.<\/p><p>Of course, if you\u2019re in the business of flying an FPV drone, the rules are a little different on this one!<\/p><h2>Drone cinematography moves<\/h2><p>Now that you better understand what goes into making a great drone shot, you can start practicing. Using the idea of motion, camera control, and composition, here are a few moves you can learn that will improve your drone cinematography skills.<\/p><h3>The 360<\/h3><p>I love using \u201c360\u201d shots as my introductions to a scene because they\u2019re so dynamic and really help place a subject within its environment.
