Storytelling
Cinematic wedding videos often focus on storytelling. This involves capturing not just the events of the day but also the emotions, interactions, and unique moments that make each wedding special. This narrative approach helps create a more engaging and emotionally resonant video.
Pre-Production Planning
Planning is crucial for cinematic wedding videography. This includes pre-wedding consultations with the couple, understanding their preferences, and creating a shot list or storyboard to guide the filming process.
Cinematography Techniques
- Depth of Field: Cinematic videos often feature a shallow depth of field, achieved with wide-aperture lenses, to create a more visually appealing look by isolating subjects from the background.
- Stabilization: Smooth camera movements are essential. This can be achieved using gimbals, steadicams, or other stabilization equipment to avoid shaky footage.
- Creative Angles: Experimenting with different camera angles and perspectives adds visual interest to the video. This might include aerial shots, low-angle shots, and unique framing.
