Preliminary preparation
1. Although it is not excluded that inspiration will occur from time to time during the filming process, it is essential to prepare and conceive the content in the mind. You can go to the shooting location and take a look at the composition angle.
2. Determine the subject and venue of the shoot, and the number of people who need to participate. In addition, if you need special dress, you should communicate well in advance.
3. Conceive a good picture and imagine the action that requires the character to cooperate. If there are props out of the country, you can choose the post-PS or the pre-preparation.
4. For a good shot, choose a good weather with good weather. In order to allow the photographer to "listen to listen", it is also necessary to consider from the perspective of the photographer, such as avoiding the noon to expose the photographer to the sun, it is easy to make people feel emotional and impatience.
5. Check the drone device and charge it to prepare for the shooting task.

Shooting process
1. Communicate with the swayer to get a good idea of ​​the action, let the swayer understand the shooting essence and integrate into the shooting atmosphere.
(Tips: The more exaggerated the position of the photo is, the better the effect is. If you are worried about not capturing the moment of beauty, you can also record it by using the video recorded by the drone. You can select the best from the screenshot in the video later. Look at a frame~)
2. Adjust the flight height and exposure parameters of the aircraft according to the site conditions.
Example 1:
Most of the basketball courts were photographed into the picture, and the lines were full, and the large area of ​​blue was also good for the captured characters. Parameters: f / 2.8, 1/210 sec speed, ISO100 (equipment: Elf 3PRO Author: Miao Hua)
Example 2:
Outdoor sunlight is more glaring, it is easy to produce over-exposure, you can adjust the ISO to the appropriate parameters, not let the photos white. The drone is about 20 meters high. (Equipment: Elf 3S Author: Gu Xiaoli)

Late repair
In the later stage, you can use a computer or a mobile phone to repair the film, which is very convenient.
Step1 original color toning
Method 1 Computer repair:
Computer repair can be done in photoshop or lightroom, taking photoshop as an example.
1. The original image is cropped.
Import the PS and crop it to retain the desired portion of the picture.
2. Late adjustment.
Since the pose is generally based on the relationship of the characters, the ground is relatively only used as a drawing board. Therefore, in most cases, it is not necessary to pay attention to details and parts. It is necessary to pay attention to highlighting the contrast between the ground and the characters, and whether it is necessary for the characters. Shadow processing.
The original picture taken by Elf 3S, the latter is based on PS, the contrast is increased by 40, the exposure is reduced by 0.26, the natural saturation is increased by 20, and the curve is used to adjust the light and dark parts.
3. Add material.
In the petal net, map network, thousands of nets on the material network to find processing materials, such as search for "sticker umbrella", download PNG format pictures, add material directly in the PS, and finally save as JPG or PNG format.

Method 2 Mobile phone repair:
The DJI GO app connects the drone and puts the drone on, importing videos and photos into the phone. Dajiang APP comes with a video editor that is very useful, highly recommended! Every time you go to the drum, you can automatically switch videos, rhythm, and a lot of rich video filters and multi-style background music. After the photos are saved to the local album of the mobile phone, I like to use Snapseed and VSCO mobile phones to retouch the pictures, from the basic picture to various style filters, easy to operate, full-featured, these two software in hand, mobile phone repair map is basically no problem.

Add material
Regarding the post-add material, you can operate on the PS. If you are good at painting or want to try your own hand-painted, you can create your own, which can avoid the stereotypes of online materials and make your works more original.
Method 1 Hand-painted plate painting creation:
The hand-painted board is a tool that combines the computer with the hand-painting and painting. As long as the hand-painted board is connected with the computer, it can be painted on the computer.
1. Download and install the corresponding driver of the hand-painted board. After installation, plug in the USB and you can use it. Adjust the sensitivity of the pen and the value of the strut strength.
2. Open the PS software and draw directly on the hand-painted board.
Method 2 An electronic illustration tutorial without a hand-painted board or a mouse:
1. Prepare several tools you need to use: black hook line pen, graffiti book, mobile phone, computer (install PS software)
2. On the graffiti, use the black hook pen to draw the material you want to add. Note: The final line must be continuous, just like a smooth line in one go, so the first attempt can first draw a draft with a pencil, then use a black hook line to trace it again.
3. Scan a clear picture. The first choice is to use a printer and a scanner. If not, you can also use the mobile phone to download the app "Scanning Almighty King" and scan the line art on the paper into an electronic version. Or take a photo directly with your mobile phone, you can also meet the basic requirements of PS editing.

4. Import PS for editing. If you need to color, you can use the brush and paint bucket tool in PS to color. Then use the drawing tool (magic stick, lasso tool) in PS tool to take out the independent material and save it as PNG format. The next time you use it, the material can be directly edited in the original image.
Method 3 Download the PS material online:
Compared with the hand-painting, most people still choose the existing materials for editing, which is more convenient and convenient. After all, there are many online materials, and they can be purchased and customized.
1. In the petal net, map network, thousands of library online to find processing materials, there are many good-looking and practical map materials on the Internet, you can search for the keyword "sticker", download the majority of the selected picture PNG format. If there is only a picture in JPG format, you need to perform an additional step of PS map processing.
2. Open the picture and add it in the layers of photoshop, you can freely play it! The free combination will find a lot of interesting ideas, such as: plus the staff, everyone is like a jumping note; plus the stick figures of each planet, as if in the vast galaxy; plus the landmarks of famous attractions, looking forward to the future Traveling along the same way... There are also a lot of aerial photography graduation photos, which are set up with different letters, numbers and words, showing unique and thoughtful thoughts. Of course, these should be conceived before shooting.
Finally, come back and enjoy a beautiful set of aerial hand-painted creative photos, these imaginative pictures are from a lovely hand of a science man.
