Wedding videography is essential for a wedding. Though photographs are a very good way to capture the moments, wedding videography adds to the memories by letting the viewers live the experience when watching the wedding video later. The mood of the event, how wedding guests enjoyed the moment and the wishes that were passed on to the wedding couple can all be experienced by watching the video later.
Inevitably, it has been found that the wedding couple do discover some of the wedding ceremony moments when watching the video of their ceremony at a later day. With the digital video technology, which is also referred to as DVD, the memories are better captured and the videos have a better shelf life which means that the future generations to come will be able to watch the memories later.
Some of the innovations in wedding videography have been:
DVD revolution
Currently, by default, videos are shot in high definition and for good reasons. One is the super-high resolution of the coverage. If the video is seen on a high definition screen, you would appreciate the quality of high definition. The other reason is that the quality of the copies would remain the same no matter how many copies you make. This enables you to share the copies with as many people you want.
Having said that, the biggest drawback with the high definition wedding videography is the fact that the cost of the equipment is high. This is because the videographer needs better equipment for shooting and editing. However, now that the high definition wedding videography is the norm, the pricing does not affect the customer as much.
Natural and non-obtrusive
In the years gone by, wedding photographers and videographers were omnipresent and times seemed to dictate how and when the ceremonies were conducted. However, that is not true anymore. These days, wedding photographers and videographers work in a stealth mode or have a “fly on the wall” presence. With both the shooting and editing technology for wedding videography advancements it is possible for the wedding videographers to shoot in any environment. Even in the case of low lighting, these advancements allow them to capture the actual atmosphere of the wedding and not provide something that looks enacted.
Better sound quality
Sound is an important component of videography. Earlier on during weddings, microphone wires were a nonsense as the guests would frequently get themselves entangled in them. These days wireless microphones are used which are not only a less of a hassle for the wedding guests, but also capture the actual events with crystal clear audio. Attaching wireless microphones discreetly to the groom’s suit and some of the important guests enables you to capture the wedding ceremonies as naturally as possible.
New angles
One of the areas where wedding videography has improved with the new technology is that video can be shot from different angles. Not only have the cameras improved, but the new accessories like cranes and poles for video cameras enable the wedding videographer to ‘float the camera’ and thereby get different angles and take sweeping shots which was impossible in earlier times. If you want, the wedding videographer can then be innovative like shooting the wedding ceremonies from the perspective of the wedding couple by moving the camera with the couple!
More options for wedding videography
New approaches to wedding video editing have come up which help in creating interesting and captivating wedding videos. For example the Tower Studio team has a “You Film It” Wedding video package which allows friends or family of the wedding couple to shoot the video and send it to Tower Studios team for final editing and production. The cameras and the other equipment is sent to you in advance. After recording, the video and the equipment is sent back to Tower Studios. The video is edited and produced according to the requirement and you have a unique personalized wedding video. This was unheard of in earlier times but now with technology being so easy to use it is possible for non-professionals to shoot a video and later be edited by professionals to give it a nice presentation and look.
These days the possibilities of wedding videos are endless! These possibilities make wedding videos dynamic in nature but also, thanks go to better and cheaper technology that is now available. One of the offers that is available with nearly every professional videographer is to provide raw video footage of the wedding and it is a good idea to get it as you can create more variations of the wedding footage for different purposes.
