Drone Filming | Successful Filming with Max

Me and Max spent around 2-3 hours in Old Catton filming the drone shots, and taking pictures for my ancillary task. I decided to settle with just using the side pan shot with the drone, rather than the 3rd person view, this was mainly due to more and more people turning up in the park. Also, the tree we were shooting next to, was being climbed on by several kids and we couldn't fly the drone with them there. This was fine since the pan shot we filmed was good enough to include in my trailer.

Success/Failures

Drone filming was a big success, I managed to get a very smooth and well filmed tracking shot of me running with the tree in the background. Me and Max lowered the light exposure to make the shot darker, this was so that it would match the brightness of my other scenes.

Although the drone was fine, we did have a slight dent in timing, after a could shots Max crashed the drone and it wouldn't fly. I sorted this problem by simply turning it on and off, this only wasted around 10-15 minutes. Another problem was that after we had been filming for about an hour, more parents and children started walking around the park, and a lot of the kids were climbing the tree meaning we couldn't fly the drone due to safety issues. It would have been nice to see what a 3rd person view would have looked like.
