A wedding, being the once-in-a-lifetime event, demands that that the videographer be utmost attentive and alert at all times. Basic shooting skills are not the only tools required by a videographer. The videographer has to be at many different places at the same time in a wedding! The wedding and reception ceremony require good time and resource management skills on the part of the videographer.
If the videographer is covering the event solo, then they have to be careful because they will be managing the cameras on their own. It will require proper planning so that nothing is left uncovered.
If the videographer is a friend of the bride and groom, they might think that they will be able to cover the event, as well as attend the ceremonies as a guest. However, experienced videographers say that it is very likely that you will be working nearly all the time and will not really get to enjoy the event as a guest.
If you have been asked to cover the wedding of some friend or relative and have no idea where to begin, you could probably take some tips from veteran videographers.
Preparation
Preparation of wedding videography will mean attending rehearsals, planning on how to capture key moments and deciding the placement of cameras.
Develop a schedule or checklist of how you will cover the event. This should include the things you need to do before the wedding such as arranging cameras and relevant equipment beforehand.
The schedule should also include how you will cover happenings such as the groom and bride getting prepared, the groom and bride arriving at the venue, and the wedding ceremony.
If you are using a two-shoot camera, you could shoot the bride's procession from the bride's side of the aisle at the altar steps. After the bride's arrival, the best place for you to move with the camera would be behind the officiant. For this, you will need to coordinate with the officiant at the time of rehearsal.
Shots to take at the wedding
It will also be in the benefit of the first- time videographer to remember some key shots that they must cover, some of which are the arrival of the wedding party, entrance of bride, dance, cake-cutting, guest book signings and cutaways. A reenactment of the ring ceremony can also be staged.
Seasoned videographers also advise first-time videographers to keep ample time at hand for preparing equipment in the church before the arrival of the wedding party. There is never enough time as the wedding party may arrive before time and your equipment may not be ready to cover the proceedings.
