How can you tell the difference between good videography and bad videography? It’s not a trick question. You don’t have to be a film student to know the difference. For starters, good videography captures the mood of the occasion, not just the sights and sounds. It makes you feel like you are there. It’s truthful. It does justice to the event itself.
Have you ever been to a great wedding? The kind that people talk about years later. And did you then watch the wedding video and recoil in horror at the lousy shots? Was that aunt Helen or cousin Phil? With that dark, grainy footage, who can tell? You don’t have to be an expert to know that’s bad.
Good videography means that you will want to watch that video over and over again, like any great film. Bad videography means that you will stick it on the shelf behind the Prison Break DVDs and never show it to anyone!
If when you think of videography you instantly have visions of old Uncle Albert staggering around the dance floor brandishing a camcorder, then think again! At Bloomsbury Films we’ve taken videography to new levels. It’s in the title really, isn’t it? Bloomsbury FILMS. We like to think outside the box, get creative, bring a little bit of Hollywood to the table.
Everybody’s heard of wedding videography, but in addition to weddings (which we do brilliantly by the way) we offer a wide range of videography services. Examples include barmitzvah videos, birthday parties, corporate events, conference filming. The latest addition to our portfolio is family documentaries. Why not become the star of your own movie? Just let one of our professional videographers produce up to a 60 minute blockbuster of your life history, and voila: you will be forever preserved in celluloid (well, okay, we exaggerate a bit). Or, if the whole reality TV thing appeals to you, have a look at our Big Brother Diary Room, if you dare!
We’ll approach the videography of your event from a creative angle: an angle that takes us straight to the heart of the matter. And – guess what? – no sign of old Uncle Albert anywhere!
As one of the UK’s leading specialists in the production of wedding DVDs, at Bloomsbury Films we are always pleased to exhibit samples of our wedding DVDs and discussing them with prospective clients. We take great pride in working in a systematic way to create wedding DVDs that inspire and entertain our clients. None of the films we make are rushed and by the time they are completed we feel we are part of the family! Most wedding DVDs we create are standard definition DVDs as these can hold up to 4.7Gb of data. The new Blu-ray discs can handle 25Gb of data, but as of yet not many people are requesting these. In our view, things like standard definition and high definition are not important, what is going to make any of the wedding DVDs we produce far more enjoyable is the quality of film-making. Specifically that is the quality of story-telling and the creativity in the visual production. There is no point in having any wedding DVDs in high definition if it is boring. On our website you can find many samples of our wedding DVDs so you can see what we mean!
When you are hiring a wedding videographer you are giving him or her the responsibility of preserving the memory of the most important day of your life. So at Bloomsbury Films we recommend you take the time to do the right research. Obviously our best advice would be to trust our wedding videographers do the job, but we want to help you make your own informed choice and have put together some useful advice on choosing the best videographer.
Amongst the various tips we offer is to use a personal reference in finding the right videographer. Otherwise use bridal magazines, websites and yellow pages that carry advertisements. Make sure that your wedding videographer has filmed enough weddings and can show you recent and complete samples of his work. Once you are sure of the person take the time to explain everything that you want included in the film. Brief the videographer of the cultural nuances that he must remember when filming the wedding. Introduce the wedding videographer to all important members of your family so that he can focus on them. Keep a list of your preferred music ready to use in the wedding video. Cost must be discussed and decided beforehand.
Remember a wedding video has no second takes so select your wedding videographer carefully!
