Putting the Property in Context: Highlighting the Surrounding Neighborhood / by Andrew Gee

One aspect that drone videos and photos allow for the viewer to really get a nice sense of, is the context of the property as it relates to the surrounding neighborhood.  Often times we will get a request to be able to show how close the property is to certain amenities (beach, mountain views, etc.) 

Therefore, in order to create the best sense of this context, it is very important to do the following:

1. Ask the client up front: what are the aspects that they want to highlight in the surrounding neighborhood, what amenities should not be missed in the video?

2. Plan your flights accordingly - often times a flight that "reveals" a wonderful view, has the most impact aesthetically.

3. In post production, be sure to highlight the aspects by adding special highlights or text to mae it obvious to the viewer.
