Photography has undergone sea changes since the evolution of the camera and the film roll; now mobile phones act not only as communication tools but also as videography tools.
But when it comes to extremely special occasions like weddings, the ‘aim and shoot’ just is not enough anymore. Because the memories that make up the special day are lost and gone if they are not recorded instantly. The essence of good wedding videography is to capture the essence of the moments along with the action and emotion to create lasting memories that will emotionally impact the families involved in the wedding process.
Today, wedding videos are shot almost like full-length feature films that tell a complete story. In the earlier days before video, every wedding album used to be filled with rows and rows of photographs of family, relatives, friends, colleagues, associates and their families and countless others all staring unblinking into the camera, some daring to sport smiles! Years later, on a rainy day probably, these old albums would be pulled out and everyone would have their say in identifying every person in the photographs; there would always be some who remain ‘non-identifiable’!
To be appreciated for good photographic nuances, a wedding videographer has to look at the task at hand not as a contract that will net a tidy sum but as a work of art that will remain priceless and precious for time to come.
Wedding videographers have to rustle up new ideas and thoughts to keep abreast of the latest technological trends in addition to anticipating what the wedding couple wishes to put in their wedding album. And so wedding videos are not just confined to the wedding ceremony and the guests but also include every single cherished moment in the entire ceremony from the time of decorating the venue to the arrival of the guests, the friends getting together, occasional pranks and so on. Among the many styles that wedding videographers choose to film weddings, these can be counted among the most popular.
• Journalistic – this kind of videography allows the videographer to shoot the events in chronological sequence, almost like a diary of events, so that every little detail is captured.
• Behind-the scenes – these are very much a part of every wedding and add to the creation of a complete event where snippets and situations of warmth, happiness and emotion are placed on record.
• Cinematic – this style gives the video a spontaneous look and feel with close-up shots and wide angles to give the ‘in-the-moment’ feel.
• Interviews – this is a modern trend where close family members’ and friends’ comments on the wedding and the couple are sought to add the unexpected and surprise element for the wedding couple who can still treasure the comments years later.
However wedding videography equipment is a very expensive proposition requiring state-of-the-art equipment and accessories.
