It was really worth asking a professional video studio to shoot your wedding, even if some of your friends brought a camera with them. It makes more sense to hire a professional, having profound experience and creative approach to any task, to film your wedding celebration with the help of high quality equipment rather than to record everything with amateur video camera in shaking hands. Now let's find out what you need to ask for in a professional video shooting studio for your wedding basing on your requirements.
How many cameras are necessary?
If it is a small-scale wedding, one video camera is enough. If you plan to have rich entertainment program, then two cameras will be just to the point, one of them will record the program, the other – the guests. If there are a lot of guests and banquet hall is large, three or four cameras may be used to capture all the details of the celebration.
Video format
The key process of a wedding film creation is video shooting. It is this process that influences the quality and attractiveness of a film. That is why professional equipment satisfying the highest requirements of videotape footage should be used. Betacam – a professional video format used by television. In majority cases professional video recording is done in this particular format that corresponds to the broadcast television quality. DV (Digital Video) is a comparatively new format gaining popularity at high speed thanks to top level of quality and reasonable cost. It is digital format that can be processed by a computer, suitable for non-linear montage, copying without loss of quality, DVD recording. DV can be played by analog DV-cameras only that are successfully replacing now all other home cameras. If you want to have a film about your wedding in excellent quality then you can't but order a video shooting in DV or Betacam formats made by professionals. If necessary, additional equipment is used while filming: cranes, camera dolly, light, talk-back equipment, etc. One of the key elements of successful video shooting is light. If done professionally it may hide defects and reveal advantageous moments and make shots look more expressive.
Video broadcasting
If you plan a large-scale wedding celebration it is a good idea to rent big screens and broadcast the evening program. Thus all your guests will be able to see entertainment program. If there are many cameras, then broadcasting is done by a producer that receives images to his remote control from different cameras. It is a producer who decides what picture from what camera to show on the screen.
Montage
Recording is over and there are a number of tapes with all the details of wedding celebration in your hands. But it is difficult to enjoy it: you have to skip long uninformative material and soon your interest is lost. The thing is that a cameraman records a lot of unnecessary details in order not to miss something important and interesting. Montage is the way out. By choosing the most bright and expressive moments, taking into consideration important events, a producer is able to make live, dynamic film with pieces of your home video and photos used, accompanied by stories about lives of bride and groom, funny comments about your close friends and relatives.
DVD film recording
After montage is over take care to save the film in excellent quality. Common VHS tape is not a good idea as recorded material loses its quality after each play and as time passes. That is why professionals will record your film to DVD and make copies for your friends at your request. No doubts, it makes more sense to save records on DVD from the lifetime point of view. |
