A Study on Development of Aerial Filming Model for Revitalization of K-Boat in Leisure Sports

The purpose of this study was to development of aerial shot model for K-boat by using drone. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, the aerial shot factors analysis, the classification of the water surface area for the K-boat racing, and the development of aerial shot model for K-boat by using drone are carry out. Literature study and expert group consultation methods were used to derive the aerial shot factors and the water surface area for the K-boat racing. The outcomes from these researching activities are as follows. First, the aerial shot factors are categorized into 3 groups as follows: The ‘altitude’ factor for free movements in space during the aerial shot; The ‘tilt’ factor for camera control; The ‘maneuvering’ factor for the techniques such as hovering, forwarding and reversing, right and left horizontal maneuvering, and circling or spinning. Second, the water surface area for the K-boat racing is divided into 4 area based on the racing course and the racing process as follow: The area 1 is the start and finish location; the area 2 is the turn mark location for the first turning; the area 3 is the straight section right after the first turning; and the area 4 id the turn mark location for the second turning. Third, in developing the aerial shot models, each water surface area has its own shot models based on the aerial shot techniques such as ascending and descending, tilting, and other various maneuverings came up in the preceding phase. Accordingly, the area 1 has 2 models and each of the others has 3 models respectively. After that, the first shot was executed using the developed models. In the phase of contents reviewing, there were 3 reviews of the contents in total using the first shot outcome to which the developed models were applied. In every review, there were second and third shot in executing the corrective and supplementary orders derived from the statistical analysis of the expert group responses. In addition, the video footages were attached. In the first contents review, 5 models were corrected among 11 models, and they were applied to the second contents review. Then, 2 models among the 5 were corrected and applied to the third contents review. Finally, after all of these processes, totally 11 models were developed as follows: 2 models in the area 1; 3 models in each of the rest areas. With these aerial shot models, the K-boat racing may become a sport event to which the aerial shot can be applied. Above all, it is considered that the video production on which visual excitement, realism, dynamics, and aesthetic are focused is available using them.
