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 ceremony
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.
o
Finding out the route of entrance
.
The highlight of a wedding reception is the entrance of the bride and groom.
Find out which door they will enter from and the route they will take from the
person-in-charge of the wedding hall in advance. Set up the tripod at a place
where you can follow the couple using zoom without having to move around.
o
Number of times and timing of clothes-changing
Find out the timing of any changing of clothes so as to capture the scene well
when the bride and groom enter again.
You can also make use the time while the bride and groom are changing to
record comments of well wishes from the guests.
Finding the Right Angle to Capture Both Bride and Groom
o
Composing the picture with the groom in front and the
guests at the back
.
The main characters of a wedding are of course the bride and groom. Record
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.
