Choosing your Wedding Video Style
WHICH STYLE?
Many brides are unaware that there are varying styles of wedding videos. This can lead to an unhappy surprise when you view your finished wedding video. You need to know what styles are being offerred and which style you prefer. Wedding videos come in two basic styles – short-form (often called “cinematic” or “romanticized”) and long-form (also known as documentary or journalistic style).
A Short Form wedding video generally runs from 5 to 15 minutes and is designed to capture just the “essence” of your day. These generally have a small part of audio from your actual vows and a music track over the rest of the video. Short-form videos can be good to show acquaintences who may not care to invest an hour but can miss out on a few important elements from the day.
A long-form wedding video generally runs from 30 to 60 minutes, and is more of an actual depiction of what occurs on your wedding day. It should include most or all of the actual ceremony, the most important parts of your reception and perhaps your preparations, etc., and have much of the actual audio(clearly and crisply) from your wedding and reception. It is really a extended version of a short form with each part of the day getting a equal signification rather than the highlights of the day approach. at BSG we generally create this form of DVD but we can do anything you desire
There are many style variations, so be sure and understand exactly what style your wedding videographer will use. Many people feel that it’s nice to have a short-form video to show neighbors and coworkers and a long-form for the couple and family.
