Target Group

The Interview has shown that my research needs to be done. The existing situation in aerial filming is complicated and the coordination between pilot, cameraman and producer is not well organized at the moment. This three parts are the fundamental background of the GCS. It is all about creating an enviroment that allows to control the movement, the camera angle and the cooperation with the directors at the same time.

Observations

The observation has given a good insight into the workflow and the enviroment of cameramen. Analogys could be found to work with them. This material will be the base for my further work. The long expirience that are reflected by the different camera dollys tripods cranes etc. will help to create a better interaction with the drone. A analysis of this devices will phrase the functionalities and technical needs for the GCS.

Pro User

The existing GCS shown in this interview points out that there are two levels of control. On the one hand you can fly the MAV with joysticks. On the other hand by pressing a button you switch one of them to the camera control. This remote is just a group of necessary objects to control the vehicle. A Design is nessasary to create a new unique device for joint flight and camera control. The quality of the new device is found in the experience and the interaction.
