Drone aerial photography is a very hot topic at the moment, a large part of aerial photography is the shooting skills, the biggest problem for novice aerial photography is that aerial photography is not planned, and there is no alignment with post-editing production. What is a complete aerial photography process, now let me talk about the process and skills of aerial photography.
The aerial shooting process is basically similar to the shooting process, such as shooting movies and TV series, before shooting, you need to have a script and shoot according to the script. Then aerial photography is the same, before shooting to write a good script. The content of the script includes (positioning, theme, representation, individual sub-shots: shooting people or scenery, shooting location and time). Once you've done all this work, you're ready to shoot.
Common aerial photography techniques are as follows:
1. Ensure that the picture is compact Aerial composition is the king, flying freely, flying higher, you can shoot the big scene of the city at will, which is the most willing to shoot by aerial photography enthusiasts, but especially note that no matter whether the scene is large or small, we need the most picture to adjust and intercept, to ensure the compactness of the picture, highlighting a center of interest, can not be large and large, for the wide and wide.
2. Look for suitable light and shadow, avoid the high light ratio dynamic. Observe the right light, the right time, the water surface is just when there is a reflection is better. There is also the sunset oblique illumination, and the light and shadow are just right.
3. Look for colors, where the highlights are.
4. When looking for patterns, but not suitable for gold composition, cubic parts, diagonals and other composition methods, the main body is placed in the middle of the picture to shoot geometric patterns.
5. Look for lines on the ground, compose with diagonals, radial lines, etc.
6. Shooting humanities, when we get the aerial camera, we basically shoot the city for the first time, the high-altitude scene of the park, as everyone knows, the use of the aerial camera, low-altitude shooting of humanistic subjects is also very easy to shine.
7. Use the foreground to make a good film, emphasizing perspective and depth.
8. The essentials of shooting the water surface In the ground shooting rivers, lakes and seas and other water surfaces, we often recognize the sunrise and sunset time to shoot, considering that the small aerial camera can not shoot the big light ratio, I shoot the water surface is generally at noon, vertical look down to shoot the water surface, so that you can shoot the reflection of the sun on the water surface, if there is no scenery, the water surface will generally be underexposed, and the noise will be a lot. In some places, when shooting at non-noon time, the water surface will be darker, the noise is more, and it is not easy to deal with in the later stage.
To summarize the new pilot shooting error points of drone aerial photography:
(1) There is no site inspection before take-off. For example: obstacles in the venue, pedestrians. In this way, it is very likely that the drone crashed, causing property damage.
(2) Novices have a small or even no transition frequency when shooting. According to the normal shooting process, it should be a shot turn once. Due to the lack of transition or the frequency of transition: the pilot or photographer has a limited perspective, and the shooting time is prolonged by the lack of shooting results; the pilot stands in a relatively fixed position, will fly directly to the next lens location (the two are closer) to shoot, and it is likely to encounter obstacles or signal occlusions, causing the drone to crash.
(3) There are no strict shooting requirements for novices. After the novice took off during the shooting, there was no rule and did not shoot according to the script. For example, when we watch a movie or a TV series, there will be a director who says "card" means stop. The director will consider whether to reshoot according to the effect of the shooting. Aerial photography should also be done like this, one shot at a time, and reshoot without passing.
(4) The shooting schedule for novices is improper. The shooting time has a lot to do with the whole video. The timing is not in place, and each sub-shot environment sets the tone of the entire video. There is a clear difference between a shot that is shot at noon and late at night, in the summer and in the winter. So the script says that shooting in this time period is that it must be filmed at this time (not finished before putting it down). If you don't follow this, post-production can be cumbersome, and the work after production is not so realistic.
