The technological side of wedding cinematography has really come a long way in the last few years, and there have been big advances in style and tone to go along with it.
Top cinematographers have applied their skills in creating wedding videos that are both timeless and high-quality. Artists who have paved the way for unique wedding video concepts that make your day one to remember forever.
Indie Documentary Style Wedding Videos
The filming and editing of your wedding footage can reflect the same quality as an independent film. The concept isn’t only to tell the narrative of your wedding day—it should portray the individual characters as well. The reactions, conversations, tempo, and mood are all recorded for posterity in the same tone as an indie documentary.
When you hire an expert in all wedding cinematography genres, they can create a film that gives the viewer a sense of how the wedding was beyond the standard viewpoint of the dress, reception, and ceremony.
Video graphers do spend more time editing this kind of footage, but the payoff is worth it when you receive the finished product: a wedding video that everyone will want to watch over and over.
3D Photo Montages For The Reception
3D photo montages are now an option available for you to add to the wedding video package you choose for your big day. Still images are taken before the wedding ceremony are digitally manipulated so that they appear to be three-dimensional. Meaningful songs, music, and even special effects can be edited in as well. The footage is shown throughout the reception and can also be included for some guests as a keepsake.
This technique requires a fair amount of editing time. It’s for this reason that couples often use photos of themselves growing up, in school, on holiday together, and at their engagement. They are a very popular choice for weddings that want to provide an extra “wow” factor for their guests.
Trash The Dress Videos
The wedding is over, the outfit the bride is going to exit the building and leave for the honeymoon has been put on, what else is left to do? A fast-growing trend that is catching on all over the world is to film the bride trashing her wedding dress. As more couples realise that they will never wear their wedding clothing again and don’t have space in their closet to hang it, wedding gown trash-it videos are all the rage.
It is the ultimate way to de-sentimentalise the dress now that it has done its job. If the bride is planning on wearing her gown when she departs the reception, the cinematographer can return at a later date and film the wedding dress trashing. Often children are filmed painting on the material or even the bridesmaids getting in on the act of tearing it to shreds.
Wedding videos are set to become even more entertaining in 2020, and this is good news.
