hey folks what's cracking welcome back to my channel I'm Joey Hanson
in this video we will talk about these sickest movements that will
definitely 100% uplevel your drone footage let's jump right into it
you may have seen last week's video we're going to the top seven tips to achieve cinematic drone
footage if not i'll recommend checking it out after this video I will link it up here as well
in the description but in this video I will share with you the eight essential aerial shots that
Hollywood is using that you can easily achieve with your own drone just like that sounds like a
plan all right cinematic drone shot number one is the tilt app reveal also look up shot called it is
the perfect way to open a video or a new sequence to introduce a new location or a subject acid
allows the viewer to gradually decode the scene as the camera tilts up and it's super easy to
pull off you just tilt your camera downwards fly forwards or backwards and then slowly move up the
camera so that the image and the scenery basically reveals itself a slight alteration of this shot is
the tilt down reveal luckily the newer drones can tilt up their camera by 15 degrees so you
can start your shot looking up in the sky and then revealing your subject coming from the bottom it's
a nice little alteration the second shot is the top-down shot also called bird's-eye view of spy
satellite no question this is by far my favorite shot it allows you to create an abstract image
that kind of challenges the viewer to decode but also allows you to create symmetry and gives you
just an angle that is so unusual and unique and it's again super simple to achieve just point the
camera straight down and add sub simple motion a little pro tip use Google Maps and their satellite
imagery because it allows you to scout out easily locations that look visually intriguing from top
down it's a really nice way to save your time and battery and find really intriguing locations
music pieces third is the tracking shot where you basically follow a subject along the way
this can be shot from behind from the side from the front and lab level even top-down but the
key is to follow the subject along the journey this shot is a little bit more advanced if done
manually because you have to move the drone as well as keep the subject framed as you like it
but don't frown upon it because most of the modern drones have various various tracking modes that
automatically enable you to follow a subject and track it by just pulling a box around it
or following the controller it is really easy to achieve these days and I think it's a very
powerful shot as you can show your subject moving through the scene and add a lot of dynamic to it
what one is the crane short or also called the jib shop and it is basically just emulating what
a crane does on set and especially raising the camera angle above the eye level and following
the subject or revealing it very slow motions work here best next one up is the backwards
reveal shot also pullback shot called it is an amazing tool to build up your scenery by flying
backwards and revealing more and more of that scene of that landscape obviously this shot is
even more impressive if you fly close by a subject again just be careful always safety
first and you don't want to harm anyone but to make this easier you can also shoot these shots
flying forward and then reverse it in post as long as there is no subject moving in clearly
one direction because you don't want to have someone biking backwards that would just be weird
all right shot number six is the orbit shot and similarly to the tracking shot it is
a little bit more of an advanced kind of shot if you do it manually because
you have to keep your subject in the center and literally orbit fly around it but again
most drones like the DJI ones have modes where you can automatically orbit around
the point of interest is what they call it on the DJI drones and create really cool
intriguing dynamic shots that all not only show your subject but also the environment
around it and gives a great sense of scale as well so puts a lot of energy into your shots
shot number seven is the low altitude shot or the danged I have to find my drone somewhere
in the field shot there's no doubt that with this kind of shot you can create a sense of speed and
dynamic as you are rushing over the landscape really low it is also a great visual contrast
because most people fly that drone very high up but there is definitely a huge value also flying
low similar to the jib shot where you can achieve very interesting viewing angles by just flying
fairly low but let's say you fly over eyes and then you fly over water where people first think
it might be a just a simple camera moving but how on earth do they transition from land to water so
this is when you actually can really achieve surprise effects through your drone footage
last but not least shop number eight is flying just plain straightest nothing wrong with this
it's very simple you just go straight ahead usually works very well as you are shooting
a little bit of a slower scene with slower paced music and is again very much used also
in Hollywood and to establish a shot as well to just show what the environment is like
there you have it eight key shots that you can pull off today to achieve cinematic drone footage
I want you to let us know what was your favorite shot and what are you using most often and other
any movements that I haven't mentioned let us know in the comments section below if you enjoyed this
video please some mash that like button and obviously if you haven't done so please hit

new camera in fact I'm filming on it right now it is a cinema camera and I want to talk about
it I won't reveal which one it is maybe someone can guess it let us know in the comment section
below is well but with that I'm out of here take care thank you so much for watching wherever
