But does it actually, or do you just like using your flying camera? When used tastefully and appropriately, aerial, drone, or UAV footage can benefit your video.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-different-viewpoint\">A Different Viewpoint<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Drones offer a different perspective, allowing us to see things from a bird\u2019s eye view. This unique angle can add interest and variation to what would otherwise be a familiar scene.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although commonly thought of as being used for high overhead shots, drones are great for low-level work, as well. They allow you to get a camera into places that would otherwise be very difficult or potentially dangerous with regular video gear. Consider the difficulty in filming on a small balcony in a high-rise apartment. With a drone, you can easily place the camera off the balcony, hovering in midair, to capture the scene.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-drones-as-alternatives-to-bulky-gear\">Drones as Alternatives to Bulky Gear<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Advances in imaging technology have led to improved camera quality for built-in drones. High definition 4k sensors are now standard on relatively low-cost drones, such as those offered by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dji.com\/\">DJI<\/a>. And Sony is reportedly working on a drone made for their mirrorless line of cameras.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For marketing agencies that offer video services (as opposed to full-fledged video production outfits), drones open up a world of creative possibilities that would, previously, have required a lot of specialized equipment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Say, for instance, you want to start low, then raise the camera up to expose a larger scene. Traditionally, this would require a crane or jib. Now, a drone captures the same shot. The caveat here is that drone use requires a permit or special permission in some areas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Drones have built-in stabilization systems, or gyroscopes, to steady the camera. This makes them a great alternative to using a dolly or Steadicam in exterior locations. And, because they aren\u2019t bound to the earth the way a traditional camera system is, they can go over rough spots or features that wouldn\u2019t be possible with dolly tracks.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-establishing-shot\">The Establishing Shot<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/entertainment.howstuffworks.com\/what-is-establishing-shot2.htm\">establishing shot<\/a> is what sets the scene. It\u2019s your viewer\u2019s introduction to the setting and can help to determine the mood. It\u2019s also great for providing a wow factor, especially in awe-inspiring places. Let\u2019s say, for instance, that your client is a winery. A drone shot showing the vineyard and winery building creates a sense of scale that\u2019s simply not possible from the ground.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For interview-based videos, where voiceover delivers much of the information (with accompanying captions or graphics, of course), inserting b-roll drone footage can help maintain audience attention.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-location-scouting\">Location Scouting<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bringing a drone along while location scouting can save time by quickly answering questions like \u201cwhat\u2019s over that hill?\u201d They can be a great way to augment the information gathered from maps and ground tours of a location. This additional perspective can help off-site team members get a better feel for the location and aid in creative decision-making.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-live-event-cameras\">Live Event Cameras<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At live events, such as races, or anywhere the action is too far away for a crowd to see clearly, a drone equipped with live view broadcasting capability &#8211; which is quickly becoming a&nbsp; standard feature &#8211; can transmit live video footage to a screen. In addition to helping on-site audiences get a better view of the action, live video from a drone is a great way to engage online audiences, as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For all your video needs, including drone footage, <a href=\"https:\/\/dreamitreel.com\/\">contact<\/a> Dream It Reel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you own a drone, then the answer is always yes; aerial video is needed&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":12749,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[209],"tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v21.5 (Yoast SEO v22.2) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Does Your Video Need Drone Footage? - DreamItReel<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/dreamitreel.com\/does-your-video-need-drone-footage\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Does Your Video Need Drone Footage?\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"If you own a drone, then the answer is always yes; aerial video is needed.
