Another clip already from Allison’s wedding.  This is her leaving the bridal suite to go to the photo session where she will see her soon to be husband for the first time all day.

The video starts off with more of a fast pace and quick cuts, not to mention Jersey’s own Bon Jovi, so with this part I want to slow it down a bit here. You can’t just maintain that kind of pace and style for an entire hour.  It just gets to be too much after a while.  You have to take into account what the person watching is going to be thinking and feeling at certain points and edit to that (and which I believe is the millionth time I have mentioned such).

Here is the clip…

You can tell the shots are being held a lot longer than in the other clip and still no music has been added to anything.  It’s also still just straight cuts as well and no transitions between shots.  I really wanna see how far I can push doing that. I think I might be able to go until the reception like that.  If so that would be awesome.  I shot a lot the day of, so that will help a lot in attempting to accomplish it.

I really like the end of the clip when they are in silhouette.  Just a nice shot.  I don’t think what they are talking about is really relevant, only how it looks is and the only reason it’s there.  I also love how the photographers light stands look in the background.  Just gives it a very magazine photo shoot kind of feel.

Even though I want to slow down the pace here, I’m still including shots where the camera moves during the shot.  Gives it a nice documentary and modern feel.  Also, they are natural camera moves and not shots where I am moving the camera around just to move it around.  You can see that the camera is moving in order to frame the subject for the next shot, so it works well.  There is an interview show on ESPN where they do the same thing, but I can’t stand watching it because they do it just to do it and every shot looks completely fake and staged. They will be doing a sit down interview with someone and during the entire interview the camera never settles down and keeps on moving the entire time. Every 2 seconds in and out- just stop it already. It’s just so forced and unwatchable because you know they are doing it just to do it.
