| Videography is very important
when planning your Wedding. There are a few things that
should be considered when choosing a video company, such as Digital
video equipment, wireless sound, and music.
DVD
There are several types of DVDs and DVD players out there and they
are not all alike. Some of the different types are DVD+R, DVD-R,
and Glass Mastered. Although there are many differences, the biggest of
which is Glass Mastered (the ONLY TYPE that WILL play in any DVD
player). DVD-R is the most widely used however they will only play in a
Compatible DVD player. For a list of compatible players contact your
videographer.
Music
When choosing your music consider the tempo of your video and share this
with your videographer as this will make your video much better. The
tempo and mood of the video are set by the music. Although you are
in the spotlight, it is the music that will set the mood.
Choosing Your Videographer
You should discuss all aspects of your video with your
videographer, remember there are no dumb questions. It
is better to ask than be surprised later. You should be
able to contact your videographer easily. Always try to view a videographers work prior to hiring
be it via the internet or a demo. Take into consideration that editing
has been done. This will be a good way to view a
videographers style.
Video Equipment
Digital is the only way. As in all things there are many different
levels of camera. One simple way to judge the quality is the size of
the chips in the camera. There are 1/3,1/2,and 2/3 inch available, all
of which will do a fine job. HD is also available however these
cameras show every imperfection in the skin. Remember, there are
no dumb questions!
Video Locations
Lighting is the main concern for your video when choosing a
location. Because video cameras do not have a flash, lighting is very
important. You should avoid shooting directly at the sun.
Wireless Sound
The sound should always be wireless as this is the only way. CAMERA
MICROPHONES CANNOT BE HEARD.
These are just some of the things that can make your
video great. Please call, email, or write to discuss further.
