Types of Videos That Can Benefit From Drone Footage

Drones are one of the newest and hottest video technologies on the market today. Not only do they allow you to capture shots that were previously only attainable in high-end Hollywood productions, but they also give filmmakers a variety of new angles and perspectives to work with to keep viewers engaged.

Just about any video can benefit from a few aerial shots if your budget can afford it. However, certain types of video rely heavily on aerial shots to tell their story and budgeting for these shots it a must! Three genres of videos that best utilize drone footage are real estate, events and weddings, and travel.

A must-have marketing tool for real estate listings. While photos do the job when it comes to showcasing a property, drone footage can give you the best representation of its size and shape. Drone videos allow interested buyers to view a property from their computer as if they were standing right in front of it.

A healthy mix of aerial drone shots sprinkled throughout your event and wedding videos is the best way to keep your viewers engaged. We’re used to seeing events and weddings from the first person perspective with our feet on the ground so it’s a guarantee to make your video stand out from the rest with the inclusion of a few aerial scenes. 

Travel is a huge interest for many people these days and tourism companies have a lot to gain from utilizing drone shots in their marketing videos. This type of video can be used to promote some of the most serene landscapes and hidden gems in your city, state, or country. Resorts and hotels were among the first to utilize this technology to showcase their outdoor amenities but more recently, tour companies and travel agencies have turned to drone videos to promote local attractions and tours.
