Are you getting married soon? You are probably incredibly busy thinking about the bigger and more important elements of wedding preparation: church location, theme, reception party, invitations, formal dresses, seating chart, decorations, wedding flowers, wedding cake topper, wise quote to include on the invitations – the list goes on and on. Sometimes you forget about the little details, such as the wedding video, that can actually make your wedding extra-special.
Video Slideshow
A weddings video is often played in a giant screen as part of the program of the wedding’s reception celebratory party and event. It features the couple’s romantic life either through a slide show of videos or actual clips shot prior to the wedding. Wedding videos also feature special greetings from the family, relatives and friends of both the bride and the groom. As you may know, this particular part of the video often brings the couple to tears.
Finding the Video Company
If you are interesting in having a professional wedding video made for your wedding day, the one thing to do is find the perfect video company to produce it for you. There are many of them with websites on the Internet. Simply check each one to find out exactly to what extent they can produce videos, assess past projects to find out if they have a history of creating quality productions, select your favorite and then rarrange a meeting.
Here are a couple of wedding videographers for you to check out: www.TimeCapVideo.com and www.PeacockPhotoAndVideo.com.
Look at the DVDPhotographs site for wedding video montage and slideshow prices (from just $79).
Planning the Video
When you finally meet up with the wedding video company offering wedding video services, the first thing that you talk about is the concept and theme of your wedding. Tell them what you want; give them wedding video samples if you found nice ones from other couples. Prepare the time line of your production, agree on a deadline and submit your budget proposal and you are ready to go. Leave everything to the video company to produce your wedding video.
Production Process
During the actual production process, it is encouraged that after the video company has shot initial scenes, you ask if you can view a sample wedding video clip. This is so you can make your primary assessments and see if any of the video may need tweaked. This is also to gain confidence that the wedding video is going in the right direction and is the proper quality you are expecting. If you spot any mistakes, at least they can be corrected. If you are not happy with the way it was shot, for instance, you can ask them to re-shoot the sequences again. It is your video, after all, so you only deserve the best quality.
Editing the Video
During the post-production process, be sure to drop by during editing. You can suggest the wedding video music that will be used – it can even be your theme song as a couple. Remember that you hired the video company to produce the video so you have the license to tell them exactly how you want your video to look like. At the same time, be open to their suggestions and ideas. They have been doing videos for a long time, most probably, so they do know what works and what does not.
