Taking a great video clip is tricky.  That’s why Hollywood Directors earn the big bucks.  Many regard it as pure art.  We disagree.  We think there is also science involved.  And like most things, it is a skill that can be worked on, and improved, with knowledge and experience.

During this In Person Lesson, we will cover twelve things you absolutely need to get right in order to take great video, including:

• The best Camera Settings for Video
• Using filters to manage frame rate
• Understanding the Histogram
• Auto exposure lock on or off?
• Choosing your subject
• Telling a story
• Planning your shots: wide; close; low; high
• Getting the drone in the right position, at the perfect height, for the start of your run
• Avoid distracting your viewer.  Ideally the skill of the camera work should be invisible
• Don’t be afraid to shoot the same clip more than once.  You are allowed a dress rehearsal
• Dynamic manoeuvres to make your video clips pop
• Our RAP technique for getting it right every time: Review - Assess - Perfect

You are certain to come away with clips that are better than any you have taken before. Clips you will be able to compile into a great video in post-production.  This is a brilliant Lesson to have in the lead-up to coming on one of our Masterclasses, where the emphasis is very much on getting the best out of your drone camera.
