Showcasing how drones have changed how movies are shot
In the ever-evolving world of technology, drones have emerged as a powerful and versatile tool. They have transformed various industries across the board. Initially designed for military applications, these uncrewed aerial vehicles have quickly found their way into various sectors, including agriculture, logistics, and even photography.
Then, during and after World War II, the United States military developed several UAVs, including the jet-propelled Ryan Firebee target drone. Reconnaissance drones were first deployed on a large scale in the Vietnam War. They began to be used in various roles, including combat decoys, launching missiles against fixed targets, and dropping propaganda leaflets.
As drone technology improved and became more affordable, filmmakers began to see the potential of using drones in film production. One of the first major Hollywood films to use drones for filming was the 2012 James Bond film "Skyfall," which featured a stunning aerial shot of the Scottish Highlands captured by a drone.
In addition to the creative advantages, drone technology has also introduced a cost-effective solution to aerial cinematography. Traditionally, capturing aerial footage required renting helicopters or cranes, which could be time-consuming and expensive. Drones now offer an affordable alternative, making aerial shots accessible to filmmakers with smaller budgets.
For example, drones can capture low-angle shots, making characters appear larger and more imposing. They can also capture high-angle shots, making characters appear smaller and more vulnerable. These shots can add depth and emotion to the story, making it more engaging for the audience.
