Because of the special editing techniques, visual effects, and music added to enhance the scenes from your wedding, a video can require as much creativity from the producers after the wedding, as during the day of filming. Become familiar with the options available to you, from fancy titles to a whole story line interwoven throughout scenes of your day. Many videographers offer various packages with prices that reflect the amount of work added to the original, edited footage.
Here are 5 things to consider before the first take:
- How many hours it will take to get enough film for a video. Be sure you are comfortable with the amount of time your videographer will be spending at your wedding.
- The number of people in the videographer’s crew, if any.
- Any special lighting needed. Some situations do not require special lighting, others do. Also consider that some wedding officiators will object to lights during the service; check first.
- How much of your own creative input will be allowed. Discuss this long before the wedding day.
- Will you have to act? Some moments may call for a little acting, much as you would pose for your wedding photographer. Usually a mixture of acting and candid moments is strived for.
