I’ve been really generous with the clips this past week, so here’s another. I’m just really trying to go for something different this time around, so I want to show a bit more as I’m going along so people can see what I am talking about and get an idea of how it will all come together.
Again, this is from the photo session. This is actually the final part of the session when they leave the balcony and take a few photos around the grounds. A lot slower pace here. I really like the shots in this section, so I want them to play out longer. Just think they look really nice. Plus the entire photo session has been on the balcony (or is it a terrace actually?), so seeing this and letting it play out longer will be a nice change of pace.
It’s a slower pace, but you’re so focused on the shots that it actually feels like it’s going by quite quickly. The first shot when they are walking up against the stone wall, I actually would of preferred to have it last a second or two more, but they are walking into the sun and when the camera turned to follow them the light changed to much that I had to cut it where I did.
This part really does not need music at all. I think it plays out a lot better without it. Music would be too distracting. Watching it play back now on a computer monitor rather than an actual TV (I have one attached to the computer and see what I edit there rather than the monitor) you get kind of a different feel from the clip. Can’t explain why, just do.
I shot some rehearsal footage before the ceremony (which I normally never do or get a chance to) and am going to work on that next. I kind of want to do the same thing with that that I did with the Pre-Ceremony clip that’s featured on the sample page- it’s the one with all the girls wearing red dresses. Hopefully it will work, didn’t get a chance to shoot much of the rehearsal, but we’ll see.
