The wedding is one of the most precious memories one can ever have. Make a quality wedding video which will remind you of all the unforgettable seconds of your ceremony.
Actually it’s not an easy task to make a really good video. So if you’re not a professional but your friend has asked you to record his wedding then you’d better consider some very important tips:
1. Have a “scenario”: Plan what you are going to record. Try to coordinate every single minute with the couple. Be well aware of the ceremony details to be sure you appear at the right place at the right moment. If there is a certain outline for the ceremony highlight the most important parts to capture.
2. Participate in rehearsals: Everyone including the couple should know where to stand and what to do. You must also decide on your position to have the best view of the bride and groom.
3. Stars of the day: Of course the couple getting married is to be in the thick of things. It doesn’t mean that the other guests should be neglected. But the couple must be paid special attention.
4. Candid shots are the most interesting: Capture not only planned scenes and places but also the unexpected moments which you’ll probably notice. Parents wiping away their tears, the groom waiting impatiently for the bride at the aisle or the bride’s father and groom shaking hands are very special moments to be recorded by all means.
5. Be familiar with the equipment: Get used to the equipment you are going to use. You’d better have an extra item of every piece of equipment you are going to use. In case the battery runs down you should have spare ones on hand.
Practice, practice, practice! And when the job is finally done, all you have to do is take your USB video adapter, transfer your creation to your PC and enjoy!
