 Every filmmaker dreams to have a flawless cinematography and a limitless option in shooting scenic scenes!
If you are a filmmaker on a tight budget, you probably can’t afford a helicopter shot to take some magnificent aerial shot of cityscapes and landscapes that big-budget filmmakers use.
Now, filmmakers can achieve a panoramic grandeur on their films by using drones.
Drones are unmanned aircraft vehicles that are also used by the United States to spy and drop bombs, but did you know that drones are also perfect in capturing a killer bird’s-eye-view shot for your film?
Most of the filmmakers use the DJI Phantom drone due to its size, portability, reliability and cost. You can buy the DJI Phantom below $1000! If you are up for some kill, you may upgrade your drone and invest on buying an advance transmitter, motor blades, battery, and a lot more.

Choose a Drone Model

Figure out how you can get up in the air and take your killer aerial shots! Choose a drone model according to its functionality, reliability, size, portability, and cost.
Bear in mind that an excellent drone model for filmmaking is the one that gives you steady shots, flawless camera tilts, and high-resolution footage. You can buy a drone with lower specifications just to match your budget, and just upgrade it when you have the money.

Talk to an Expert

It is wise to ask some drone experts. You may find some drone experts in our forum page! They can give you pieces of advice on what to buy and what to upgrade.
You can participate in our forum page www.dronecentre.com/forum and add a “new topic of discussion” under the category of “Ask an Expert”.

Practice Makes Perfect

Find an open space to practice flying! Remember that a good flying practice site is an area without any obstructions. Make sure that the place is not crowded, and the area does not contain any hard surfaces, trees, and a huge body of water.
 In this phase, you can forget filming for a while and just focus on your drone. You need to be one with your drone and master its capabilities.

Practice Filming

Don’t get so excited to shoot your film. You need to practice filming by finding different places to shoot. Take note of the limitations of your drone when it comes to filming different weather conditions, time of the day, and battery limitations.
Always remember to monitor the battery life of your drone. Of course, you don’t want your drone to suddenly crash in the ground while you are filming.

Look for inspiration

Get inspiration from the work of professional drone filmmakers and/or photographers! You can get a lot of ideas and learning from their works.
