Wedding
Create an awesome wedding video for the bride and groom!
.
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
■
Composing the picture with the guests in front and the
bride and groom at the back
.
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
■
Setting the shot from eye level to chest level
.
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.
Closing Up on the Bride's Face During the Thank You
Speech
The climax of the event finally comes during the bride and groom's thank
you speech and presentation of flowers. The touching words of apprecia-
tion from the bride and tears of joy from the parents are scenes that must
not be missed.
Start by closing up on the bride's face using zoom. As the tears start to
form in the bride's eyes, continue shooting for a little longer. Then, slowly
zoom out to the wide angle to show the parents who are moved by the
speech.
Advanced Operation with Two Camcorders

Recording the congratulatory messages from friends at
the same time
.
If video-editing is to be done, record using two camcorders so that a vid-
eo with varying scenes can be created. You can try asking a close friend
who has a camcorder at home.
Set the borrowed camcorder on a tripod to focus on taking close-up shots
of the bride and groom. In this way, the other camcorder can be moved
around to record other scenes, enabling an interesting video with chang-
ing scenes to be created through editing and compilation.
As most people own at least a digital camera nowadays, even if you are
really unable to find an extra camcorder, inserting still pictures to the vid-
eo at various points is also a good way to add variety. Do give it a try!
