Planning for next shoot

Need aerial drone shots of the car, i want to have the music fade from silence as the drone gets closer to the car, and for the drone to stop as it gets as close as it can to the back of the car. Because i cannot have myself in the shot, i will not be close enough to the drone in order to see how close it gets to the back of the car. To solve this i am going too start the drone off close to the car, and get the actor to reverse the car and then play it backwards so it looks like the drone is getting closer to the car as the car is driving forward.
As the drone gets closer to the car, the music will start to sound like it would if it were playing inside the car and the audience were listening from outside. Once the drone gets as close to the car as it can, i will cut to a shot inside the car, where the music will be playing as part of the soundtrack, full volume.

I will also get a shot of the drone following the car into the courtyard where the main character first discovers the tent. The tracking shot will be done relatively close so it looks like a crane or steadicam was used rather than a drone.
I also need a shot to explain why the main character is zipping himself inside the tent, to solve this i am going to add a character who comes out the back door of the house shouting the main characters name, he zips up the tent and the other character comes to look for him, but he is no longer in the tent.

Mood board The tent will be the main focus of the film, the character will step inside, and it will take him to a different place, the two characters will eventually be teleported to the same place where they meet. The opening scene will take place on the top of a multi story car park, the main character parks on top and notices the tent, after surveying the area he notices no one is around so he goes inside the tent to have a look. This is where he realising what the tent does. I would like my film to follow a similar structure to Memento, the way the same character's story is told both from the start and the end, although i dont want his story to be the same in my film, i think i will use the same structure. the main character A will write all his discoveries into a journal, this will not match with the voiceover at the start, but eventually they will cross over. One of the locations will be a woodland, as i think this could look extremely cinematic, and cou...

Film opening https://youtu.be/rAYNhlvxehY Editing techniques Mask transition Track the object which you want to mask frame by frame using the free draw bezier, after each frame press the arrow positioned in the effect controls to advance the clip forward by one frame, continue this process until the whole clip has been masked away and the next clip is underneath. Some options can be altered after the edit is complete, increasing the feather makes the line seem smoother and more natural. I got the inspiration for this transition from Pan's labyrinth. After working out how to apply the transition to basic objects, i applied it to more complex ones such as a shoe, i may also look to do it inside a tent, so when the tent opens, the next shot follows from outside. Colour grading For the colour grade, i usually (depending on the shot) increase the warmth of the image as i find this much more appealing than a cooler look. Then i adjust the exposure of the shot, altering shadow...
