Why you should choose drone videography for concerts

Drones have made aerial photography and videography easier than ever, and allow more businesses to access the benefits it offers. Unlike regular photography, aerial photography captures scale, scope, and a new perspective that is captivating for a viewer.

Similarly, it’s the best way to capture the magnitude of a concert, whether you intend to use it for marketing purposes, or want to create an impactful video of a large-scale concert. Here are some of the reasons why you should consider hiring a drone operator for aerial photography, for an upcoming concert.

Drone Photography Shows the Scale and Audience Attendance

For any musician, band, or performer, the scale of a concert and the attendance by an audience is a critical factor for growth in their musical career. At first glance, there’s no way to objectively measure viewership, which leaves much room for guesswork. However, with aerial photography, it becomes much easier to view how many seats are filled, and it differentiates between a show that’s almost sold out, and one that’s half empty.

Drone Video Has an Impact

Regular videography from a single angle doesn’t have as much of an impact and can give a distorted view to people who view the images or video. Comparatively, drone photography shows a musician’s impact on the audience during different periods of a concert i.e. during their entrance, dance breaks etc. Whether fans hold up signs or lightsticks, an aerial view makes it easy to see their excitement.

Aerial Photography Gives a Bird’s Eye View

Usually, videography from concert includes multiple snippets that switch angles far too often to keep a person’s interest. A focused aerial view slowly transitions from one angle to the next, so the viewer can observe multiple things at once, all from a single frame; what is the band doing, how are the members performing, what are the fans doing etc. Always make sure and hire an FAA Certified drone pilot for your event.

Market Upcoming Events With Drone Videography

Marketing concerts has become less of a matter of showing individual members of the audience. Now, it’s all about showing impact and having influences on potential audience members. By giving an aerial view of a grand-scale concert, it can emotionally impact enthusiasts and hardcore fanbases to attend the event. By giving the viewer a subtle message that ‘you can be a part of this crowd’, you directly influence their decision to attend.

Makes a Great Addition to Portfolios and Social Media

When selling an album or complete package that includes a concert tour movie, bands or musicians can leverage aerial footage and images to compel their fans to buy it. It helps in delivering multiple messages about the scale, viewership, and audience at the same time. Of course, it’s also acts as a great strategy to acquire new members in the fanbase.

There are a good many ways how hiring aerial photographers and videographers for an upcoming concert can benefit you and these are just a few to name. It boosts your audience engagement and influence tremendously, allowing you to profit more from future ventures. If you are the event owner you may strongly want to consider getting insurance for your filming.
