Using a DJI drone for your music video is a fantastic idea, as it opens up a wide range of creative possibilities for capturing unique and dynamic shots. Drones have become increasingly popular in the film and music industry due to their ability to capture stunning aerial footage. Here are some considerations and tips for effectively using a DJI drone in your music video production. Before you start filming, carefully plan the shots you want to capture with the drone. Identify key scenes in your music video where aerial perspectives will add value. Consider the mood and atmosphere you want to convey and how the drone shots can enhance that. As you mentioned, a bird's eye view is a powerful shot that provides a unique perspective. Use this angle to showcase landscapes, cityscapes, or interesting patterns that add visual interest to your video. High angle shots can create a sense of scale and drama. They are particularly effective in highlighting the environment or emphasizing certain elements of your music video. Experiment with different heights to find the most impactful angles. Utilize the drone to capture sweeping aerial shots that follow the action or reveal a new location. This type of shot can be visually striking and help transition between scenes in your music video. Practice smooth and controlled movements with the drone. Jerky or abrupt motions can be distracting and take away from the overall viewing experience. Familiarize yourself with the drone's controls to achieve the desired cinematic effect. Be aware of local regulations regarding drone usage. Ensure that you have any necessary permits or permissions to fly the drone in specific areas. Adhering to regulations will help you avoid legal issues and ensure a safe filming environment. That is all that is important about the DJI drone. See you in the next blog.

When it comes to producing and editing my all about me commercial, there are many key factors. The key factor I will be discussing are the songs I chose.

CCR: Question 1 and 4

Hey Cambridge, I will be filming a day in the life of Dylan Tanner as I answer questions 1 and 4 of the CCR for AICE Media.   How does your product use or challenge conventions and how does it represent social groups or issues? In response to the first question, let’s break it down into two parts to better address both issues.   While filming this production, I chose to use a lot of shadowy imagery with fade-ins, fade-outs, tracking and sounds to build suspense without ever giving away the ‘actual monster’s’ face.   I used a variety of camera shots spanning from wide angles to close ups. I chose a variety of close-ups of the character’s faces to only reveal looks of horror and fear and to keep the identity of the ‘devil’ under wraps.    The music in the background starts out with a pleasant and low tone sound, with is paired with a visual of a clear road leading into the woods.   The tune becomes more ominous and the visual changes into a narrower an...
