Peningkatan Keterampilan Siswa SMKN 1 Ciomas Kabupaten Bogor Dalam Pengambilan Video Kreatif Menggunakan Drone

Abstract

This study aims to improve the skills of SMKN 1 Ciomas, Bogor Regency students, in taking creative videos using drones. In today's digital era, drone technology is increasingly popular, especially in education and media. Therefore, students need to master these skills to compete in an increasingly competitive world of work. This community service activity involves direct training for students, where they are taught basic techniques for operating drones, taking pictures, and editing videos. The method used in this training is practical, where students can practice using drones directly in the field. In addition, the training material also covers aspects of safety and ethics in using drones. From the results of the questionnaire given to students participating in the briefing as a form of pre-test and post-test, this activity showed a significant increase in students' skills related to video shooting. Students felt that they were not only able to operate drones well but also thought that they had been able to show creativity in producing interesting video content. This activity is expected to positively impact students, both in academic aspects and in their preparation for entering the world of work. Thus, this community service focuses on improving technical skills and equips students with the knowledge needed to utilize modern technology effectively and responsibly. This activity is expected to be a model for other schools to implement similar training.
