5 Drone Moves For Getting Cinematic Aerials

In this 7-min video (see below) we discuss the following 5 simple but amazingly cinematic drone moves. They are simple, can be done on all drones, and require no intelligent flight modes.

1: The Tilt Reveal
2: The Overtake
3: The Coming Into Shot
4: The Crane/Jib
5: The Bird's Eye View

With just a small understanding of these basic filmmaking concepts, you can create stunning aerial cinematography and learn to fly like a filmmaker. 

Used in the right way, you will be amazed at the professional and cinematic results you can achieve with these shots. In other videos we discuss the benefits of using DJI's intelligent flight modes, however, these shots can be done with no intelligent flight modes and with virtually no pilot skill. Whether you are flying a DJI Phantom, Mavic, Inspire or you are an experienced drone pilot flying full-on cinema gear, a basic understanding of filmmaking and storytelling can transform the quality of your aerial cinematography.
