Finding the Presents
For children, the greatest joy of Christmas is receiving presents the next morning.
Their expression of delight when finding a present next to their pillow is a recording opportunity not to be missed. Get ready to shoot before the children wake up!
Wedding
Create an awesome wedding video for the bride and groom!
Discussing and Planning Before the Event
Before the day of the wedding reception, it is important to discuss with the bride and groom about various details such as the order of the cere- mony and whether there are any entertainment programs or change of clothes.
By understanding the preferences of the bride and groom, you will be able to shoot more appropriately.
Finding the Right Angle to Capture Both Bride and Groom
The main characters of a wedding are of course the bride and groom. Re- cord their expressions clearly during the toast, speech, entertainment programs, and other scenes.
Another recommendation is to capture the face shots of the guests, then pan towards the groom. Picture composition containing the crowd of guests only lacks fun, so be sure to pay attention to the shooting angle and size.
