Wedding Videography Trends for 2013
Knowing the Couple = Better Video
A lot of couples like to get a video presentation made which contains footage (video and photos) of the childhood, schooling, university and any courtship days a few days before the wedding reception. At the start of the wedding reception the presentation is played on a big screens, which gives the occasion a personal touch, and also gives the guests a peek into the couple’s personal life. The presentation can be repeated a couple of times (but one should be careful not to overdo it).
A touch of heritage
Since weddings are usually rooted in tradition giving them a cultural touch is another popular trend in Wedding Videography. Usually requests are received for capturing cultural traditions, ceremonies and relevant décor. Since wedding videos are going to be watched by generations in the future, adding a cultural touch is a nice way to make future generation aware of the traditions. It is important to make the videographer aware of the traditions, ceremonies and culture that have to be captured by making an appointment with the videographer.
Vintage Black and White video clips
Giving the parts of the wedding video a vintage look is another trend that is growing. Some couples go to the extent of dressing up in the styles of 20’s, 60’s and 70’s for special wedding shoots which lend a unique and distinct look to the wedding videos.
Advanced Angles
Technology allows videographers to shoot Wedding Videos from angles that was not possible earlier which if used correctly can give the wedding videos a new look. Gone are the days when cameras were placed on the tripod, now videographers can attach cameras to camera cranes which extend up to 25 feet and can rotate up to 360 degrees which helps them in shooting videos in very interesting ways.
Wedding video Trailers
Wedding Trailers are usually created after the weddings. The Hollywood movies trailer style is used to create the videos which at times has a voice over. Usually the Wedding Video Trailers have a presentation style that wants you to see the full wedding video. Check out some of our Wedding Video Trailers on YouTube.
Same day edited wedding videos
In addition to knowing the Couple, the trend of showing video footage of the wedding shot earlier in day including footage of the pre-ceremony, ceremony and post ceremony is another trend that has gained popularity and is usually there at most of the wedding receptions.
Save the date video
Using a save the date video is a very popular trend. A short video of the couple is shot which usually tells the story of how they got together and that is sent out as an invitation to the guests for the wedding.
