Recording the Christmas Party
.
After all preparations, it is finally the Christmas party itself.
Not only should you record the candle-blowing scene, but also the smiles
of the family while being surrounded by good food, or even the father who
is slightly drunk from champagne!
Finding the Presents
.
For children, the greatest joy of Christmas is receiving presents the next
morning.
Their expression of delight when finding a present next to their pillow is a
recording opportunity not to be missed. Get ready to shoot before the
children wake up!

Discussing and Planning Before the Event
Before the day of the wedding reception, it is important to discuss with
the bride and groom about various details such as the order of the cere-
mony and whether there are any entertainment programs or change of
clothes.
By understanding the preferences of the bride and groom, you will be
able to shoot more appropriately.
Finding the Right Angle to Capture Both Bride and Groom
The main characters of a wedding are of course the bride and groom. Re-
cord their expressions clearly during the toast, speech, entertainment
programs, and other scenes.
Another recommendation is to capture the face shots of the guests, then
pan towards the groom. Picture composition containing the crowd of
guests only lacks fun, so be sure to pay attention to the shooting angle
and size.

Recording the Expressions and Comments of Guests
You can record comments from the guest by going around asking,
"Please say a few words for the bride and groom".
This can be done at the guests' waiting room, when the bride and groom
are changing, or during the entertainment programs.
