f you want to capture your wedding with more than just photos then getting a video recording of the day could be ideal. But it’s not every day that you commission a film so you need to know where to start and how to make your choice. Experience & Budget Decide on your budget for recording your wedding. Once you do you can really start to look in earnest. It is worth getting recommendations through friends or family you trust. One important aspect to consider when setting your budget is you will get what you pay for. So if your budget is very small maybe it is worth asking a friend or an amateur enthusiast that you know of to make a recording as a favor to you. Equipment When choosing your videographer ask them to talk you through the equipment they plan to use. Ask how many cameras he plans to use, what recording device he will use and how he plans to eventually edit the video. This will give you peace of mind and showcase his knowledge. Style Before you can decide on your videographer you should understand the different styles of filming so you know what you are asking for. There are three main styles. The cinematic ‘straight-cut’ style includes a shot by shot narrative of the whole day and requires little editing and is less costly than other styles. A documentary style requires the videographer to take footage of the day and edit it into the final film. A popular wedding video style is to agree on the length of the finished video, agree on certain shots and giving the camera man opportunity to freestyle with the rest. Video Extras Decide whether you want more than just a straightforward wedding video. You might want to get creative and add in photos of you through the years as a couple or interviews with your parents. Perhaps the idea of using special effects to enhance finished video appeals. Just ask potential videographers about what they can do.
