Why isn’t aerial photography just about practicing flying?

The aim of this workshop is to teach students how to operate a professional drone like a DJI Mavic or Inspire to create cinematic aerial photography. Students will learn about site scouting and script planning, and how to properly fly around a target. Finally, they will use Davinci Resolve to perform basic video editing and export their work. This will be very useful for students to create a promotional video of their campus that the Info Day guests can enjoy.
