But prior to the wedding, certain preparations should be made, including the venue, dresses, flowers, catering services, souvenirs, wedding cake, and the list goes on. Hochzeitsvideo And aside from these necessities, a professionally-made wedding video is also a current trend that you may want to try.

You get to marry once so why not fulfil your dream wedding? Choose your preferred setting, theme, food and other elements of the wedding, for this is your day-you should be happy and satisfied. And for you to be able to revisit the moments of your wedding day, then one of the mementos that you should get is a wedding video. Besides, photographs do not always capture those special moments and feelings the way videos can.

How to Achieve a Great Wedding Video

Different wedding videographers may have different shooting and editing techniques. So to be able to choose the team that can cater to your needs, you should have a thorough assessment of the company’s experience, wedding videography styles and the wedding packages they offer.

·     To further help you get a high quality wedding video, here are some tips:

• Ask your family and friends if they can recommend any wedding videographers who could provide reliable services. You can also read client testimonials to know which company is right for you.
• Have a word with the videographer ahead of time so that you can discuss about the details of your wedding day-the setting, programme and your preferred wedding videography style.
• Encourage your family, friends and other guests to share memories of you or to give special messages.
• Ensure that you get good audio. Verify from the videographer if they provide a microphone or a lapel mic to make sure the readings, music and vows will be clearly heard when you watch the wedding video yourself.
• Inform the venue management in advance that your wedding video is important to you so that they can make necessary adjustments in the lighting and other set-up to ensure that you get a video with brilliant quality.

Amateur Videographers

A Wedding Videographer could be an amateur like your brother or uncle, and use a domestic camcorder, and at the end of all the festivities you receive a free tape out of the camera, not the ultimate, but at least you have something to remember your day by.

Semi Professional Videographers

A semi professional or hobbyist may use slightly better camera than that used by your uncle or friend, and should at least edit the footage on entry level equipment for a small fee.

The Professional

A professional Wedding Videographer is someone who makes a living out of making various video productions, as well as wedding videos. His equipment quality will be relative to how much business he can attract with his skills. At the same time I must add that good equipment does not equal a good video, it’s always best to first see what skills combined with equipment is on offer before committing yourself to paying a deposit.

Of late 3ccd high definition digital cameras which render excellent picture quality under low lighting conditions are within the price reach of the average Professional Wedding Videographer, this is the least you must expect from a Professional, if you are going to pay professional prices.

You have to see it this way, when you employ a Videographer, part of the price you are paying includes the cost of the equipment being employed, you are buying a piece of his equipment’s limited life span, plus his skill of knowing how to best operate the equipment.

Entry level professional PC based editing software systems are within the professionals reach financially. Today PC based editing packages are more than capable of producing professional results and are even being used by large video production houses.

Quality

Generally speaking quality is the ability to meet expectations, a DVD as an end product does not equal quality content. Transferring footage from VHS or any other analogue or outdated format to DVD will only reproduce the quality it was recorded at, thus again giving true credence to garbage in garbage out cliché.

Videographer Skills

Skill comes about when knowledge and experience are combined with a passion to excel at what you are doing, which is an article on it’s own. But there is an extra characteristic needed to make an excellent wedding videographer, and that is patience and a love for people.

So then how much should you pay

Why are some videographers cheap and others expensive? I frequently hear being asked.

Price is very much a reaction to supply and demand for Hochzeitsvideo scarce resources. For example, the videographer who creates entertaining visuals by way of knowledge skill and experience is providing a scarce resource and therefore his price will be higher as demand for his or her work will be high.
