single drone, 21 gun salute and flag ceremony
Hi folks,
I've been commissioned to do a drone flight for a 21 gun salute and flag ceremony for a veteran who passed recently. I have a single drone. The person paying has left it up to me mostly for what I capture and how I do it because he doesn't know enough to make recommendations.
I'd assume being stationary with the drone at whatever position and altitude I choose would be bad cinematography. I thinking of moving around with the drone in cinema mode to get different shots and zoom levels however this is a one time thing and these 2 things will only take about 5 min altogether with the gun salute maybe only being 30-60 seconds so I can't afford to make mistakes nor can I move around that much anyway unless I'm still looking at the action while moving (simple panning).
In post then I'd be taking the best parts of my shots to pull them together just like we normally do. So the parts where I'm changing angles and positions and such would of course be ripped out but if I need to turn away from the action for a few seconds to get a different position then I won't be capturing every second of it.
Does anyone think though that the guy who commissioned me might actually want to see every second of the flag ceremony and all of the salute? If I'm moving around to change angles and such I won't always be able to stay focused on the action but with a single drone the only other option is to stay relatively stationary and only zoom in and out and do simple pans.
I do plan to bring my DJI Action 6 to put on a tripod to get some some audio to pair with the drone video recording. I may also use some video content from the Action 6 in my final video.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
