DJI | Phantom 3 ADVANCED

For my media production I will be using my Phantom 3 Advanced in the scenes where I will be running across different landscapes, such as in Catton park and across fallen tree trunks. The types of shots I will be incorporating are over the shoulder/head shots of when Jake will be running, the same style as GTAV' third person. The other type of shot will be a side tracking shot, when Jake is running or walking, the drone will be following at the same speed alongside him. 

Indoor Footage

For my first scene, when Jake is meeting his friend at his house, I could use the drone for a smooth camera following him. If I were to use the drone indoors, I would need consistency on smooth shots, and this might be difficult trying to use the drone around corners and in a tighter space.

Drone Research

Living Near an Airport

Since I first received my drone I was aware that we were near an airport. When starting up my Phantom professional, it has a GPS map showing various areas with different colours, it also sends me an alert that I'm within an area which could present danger to planes. I haven't taken the drone to Catton Park and seen if it gives the same warning, but since there are high tree's and I wont be flying it higher than the trees I wont be going too high in order to create a crash or present danger to a plane.

Filming in a Park

Flying in a park presents the danger of others being in the park, since this is the local dog park, I will also have to take into account the dogs and how they could affect filming or safety. The only way around the problem is not filming near anyone is checking the area is clear, I also won't be flying high, so the possibility of the drone falling and injuring someone, would most likely only affect me since the drone will be above or following me. (I will be covering the risk oft he drone in my risk assessment) I will try and film during the day, this will mean no kids will be at the park, and most adults will be at work, minimising the amount of people out and about in the park.

Heigh Limit

The expert within the video says not to be an idiot, don't fly drones above 400ft, I won't be flying anywhere near this altitude. In the part I will be flying as high as 20meters above myself, I won't be going as high as the trees surrounding me and above anyone else that isn't taking part in my filming/film.

Title Results

In total I asked 35 different people on the titles, provided below, and there was a clear winner which had double the votes compared to the others. The people who answered this were a mix of people, some being school friends, some being family friends, and a couple of teachers, but overall I was very happy with their choice on the favourite. The only problem I realized afterwards, is that 'The Courier' and 'Dispatch' are both film titles already. But with them being my most popular and having no negative comments, I will be using Dispatch since the current film Dispatch isn't like mine, but just has the same title.

Co-Ordinated Arrival - Too much of a mouth full (6 votes)
Co-Ordinated Emissary - Too much of a mouth full (5 votes)
The Courier - Already used (8 vote)
Hardcore Parkour - Too Cliche (4 votes)
Dispatch - Favourite amongst others (10 votes)
Create another title - (2 votes)

Title Ideas

To begin with I looked at various Title's for films that matched my type of film genre. These two films all have a name based on the story happening within the film. Going off of this I will need a film name based on the lines of the co-ordinates or the man behind the phone. My next step is to go on Thesaurus.com and search some words for a better worded title.

Thesaurus.com just gave me a breeding ground for different ways to say the words; carrier, co-ordination, running and parkour. These different words just gave  me different words to stand alone and be catchy. Or to string a couple together in order to make it catchy (parkour was not recognised as a word in the Thesaurus so that was the only way I could phrase it)

Using everyday words such as 'carrier' and 'running' wouldn't catch a readers attention. Using unique words, out of everyday life, will draw a readers attention with curiosity. Dynamic movement is a smoother and more detailed way of saying 'jumping' or 'moving'. These small changes can make the difference between a successful title and a boring title.
