"Location, location, location. Hills, water, trees, etc. Ever see a model in a cornfield?
Lighting: If outside, shoot at golden hours, with reflectors for some shots.
Skip the sepia."
I agree, it was the location choosen by the producer. I durning the shoot I mentioned that the location isn't the greatest. I recommended next time that they find a large field.
"But my major issue is: It's a drone, so elevate. All of these shots could have been done with a OSMO on a selfie stick. And the likely reason is that models (actually people) aren't captured in the best way when filmed from above. So you had to keep the drone in the vertical model zone, near, or a bit above eye-level. For the drone to do what it does (fly above, look down), your model would need to be reclining. Otherwise, the angle is unflattering, unless skull and shoulders is your thing."
This was one of the hardest parts. Trying to get flattering shots in the location. Elevating resulted in seeing the home's backyards. Next time should be better since I recommended an open area.
"So try again: find some scenery, wait till dawn or sunset, then combine some OSMO shots with some P4 swoops, backouts, twirling descenders & risers, and of course, some slow zooms. With your model reposed. If your model does stand/walk, then you could manage to employ a descending foreground reveal, but....."
Their intention was to create a video shoot with only a drone, it was an experimental idea. So, OSMO shots were out of the questions. Next time should be a better, open location with elevation!
