Second Camera Operator?
HOW MANY CAMERA PEOPLE?
When the second camera sees something happening at one part of the reception and I’m at another part, they can alert me so we can get two-camera coverage. That second (or third) camera becomes even more important when excited guests, or photographers put themselves in front of one of our video cameras (happens all the time!).
Ask your videographer how many videographers will cover your wedding and ask who they will be. If he answers that he uses different people at different times, then you have no way of viewing a sample of work from those who would video your wedding (because he doesn’t even know who he will use). This means your ability to decide on this company’s qualifications (in regards to YOUR wedding video) is about the same as your ability to decide which number a roulette wheel will turn up on the next spin, because the quality of your wedding video depends solely upon the camera people and the editor. As soon as you change just one of those people, you change the entire equation.
We encourage you to consider a second camera operator for your special day even if it is just the ceremony, chat to u
s to find out the best options.
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. Chat to us about your best options when it comes to your wedding day
There are also additional features you may be interested in like “Bridal Elegance” or “music videos”, which can be discuss with your videographer.
