3 Cinematic Shots You Definitely Want on Your Wedding Video

http://www.royalkaila-wedding.com/

If there’s anything that we’ve learned from watching old timey VHS or Betamax home movies of weddings, it’s that you will need to hire wedding videographers in the Philippines if you really want to capture the event, the venue, and most especially, the people.


But hiring specialists to work on your wedding day video memorabilia would be easier if you can provide them with your own preferences especially when it comes to your aesthetics. Here are 3 cinematic shots you can tell the team about that they can execute to make your wedding video richer.

Establishing Shot

This is the first shot of a new section of a film. Whenever the story arc transitions or whenever a chapter in the film changes, the establishing shot helps the view discern that there is a change in setting and thus a change in expectation. For same edit wedding videos, these are important to establish the prenuptial arc, the wedding prep arc, the ceremony, the reception, and the after party.

Aerial Shot

It’s easy to mix up the establishing shot & aerial shots but the thing is, an aerial shot could also be an establishing shot but establishing shots don’t necessarily need to be aerial shot. Any shot taken from above is considered an aerial shot. Because of this, it’s also called “bird’s eye view”. Wedding videographers in the Philippines will most likely use drones to capture these shots. Try to suggest these be used during busy segments like to capture cuts of the entourage, a cotillion is there’s one, the dinner, and the bride & grooms dance.

Handheld Shot

I know we’ve said that home videos for weddings are not ideally aesthetic but handheld shots do a lot to capture the feel of very busy moments. Handheld shots are exactly as they sound: they are slightly shaky shots that give us perspectival view to the audience. This is great for guest perspective shots of blooper moments, food queuing, exchanging of vows—basically most of the lengthy but important parts of the wedding that might get abridged that you want to make interesting by making it feel like the viewer is really there.

So those are just 3 very basic shots that you can suggest be added to your wedding’s shot list. Next time, we look at some other creative and cinematic shots that you can suggest to your wedding videographer in the Philippines so you can immortalize that perfect “I do” moment just like in the movies.
