DISCOVER
YOUR STYLE
If you
aren't sure what videography style you want, take a moment to learn them.
Styles are diverse, & should fit your personality like a glove! A
videographer who works in any of the following styles will be able to cover the
essential scenes of the wedding in their entirety. You'll probably know the
right style when you see it:
Documentary-Style
Format
Just as a
documentary filmmaker films hours of footage and narrows it down, a short-form
wedding videographer will cover the pre-ceremony, ceremony, and reception, then
edit it into a video of up to an hour in length.
Straight-Cut
Format
Produced
with either minimal or no editing, this is the predominant style of wedding
video. A straight-cut video running up to two hours in length is usually much
less expensive than an extensively edited video and can often be ready just
days after the wedding.
Moderately
Edited Format
Somewhere
between the documentary-style video & the straight-cut video is a third
choice: the " in-camera" edit. The couple sets a time limit for the
video
the videographer first makes sure to shoot the events & moments the
couple has requested, then he'll use the remaining time to capture whatever else
seems appropriate.
Along with
unabridged footage of the ceremony & other highlights of the day, wedding
videos may also include photo montages set to music & special effects such
as animation, slow motion, & the use of soft filters or black and white.
