JOURNALISM, FILMING AND AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY
Drones are starting to be used in sports photography and cinematography. They were used in the 2014
Winter Olympics in Sochi for filming skiing and snowboarding events.
Commercial cinema has been playing with drones for years. In 2012’s Skyfall, during a motorbike chase on
the rooftops of Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar, the film moves between brief, frenetic shots and those taken from
a drone flying over James Bond and the man he’s pursuing.

Another group considering using drones is journalists. The ability to collect footage and information for
use in live broadcast is a real possibility in the near future.
