Most weddings covered by videographers or photographers will cost a few thousand dollars. However, 9 out of 10 videos the couple received are boring and do not get real experience. So, it is not surprising that watching your own wedding video Melbourne is a dull experience as the real theme and the joy you got in your wedding is missing. This is why if you hire a professional wedding videographer, you should watch their videos before choosing.

1. It should be fun and entertaining

Your wedding video should be fun and entertaining while capturing the real moment you felt together. The video should capture all the fun moments that you will remember a decade from now. Everything from tears to the dance floor should be there. You should be able to pass easily, without falling asleep for the first 10 minutes of the video, great close-ups, all the best moments and long shots of your perfect function room or outdoor space are nicely framed.

2. A well-edited video that captures real moments

Wedding videos need to be edited properly regardless of where they were shot. The right videographer will know how to put all the footage shots from the wedding together so that it is a seamless shot but looks with the best bits of your wedding. Flow, rhythm, upbeat music, punch cuts, visual dynamics, etc. are essential for every shot that runs simultaneously.

3. Colour grading for your wedding video

The final touch added to the wedding video is called ‘color grading’. Color grading is a very important part of the process and videographers need more than a decade of industry experience to improve it at that time. Color grading will give your film the same look as you would see in commercial films like Minority Report or Matrix (both films use the style as “bleach bypass”). However, wedding films require a variety of artistic treatments and it is important that you have this experience about the service you are taking as the right contact will take your wedding video away from the screen in the window!

4. Equipment available at the wedding videographer

Before you rent a wedding video, make sure they have the right tools. Many services may claim to use the best cameras and lighting devices, but this is not always the case. Nowadays, any wedding videographer should consider using a high definition camera that can record in 1080p.

Final thoughts

Having wedding photography can be difficult but if you follow some of the steps above you should find the right one for your wedding. However, please take the time to look around and watch some sample videos from each videographer that you are considering before making a decision.
