What the Wedding Videographer Needs

Hi, my names Michael Burton and I'm talking about choosing a wedding vidoegrapher for your wedding day. Once you've chosen that wedding videographer that you want to have at your wedding. An important thing, and after you've met with them an important thing to do is to actually make sure that you write down any shots that you want to have specifically done on your wedding day. So creating a shot list will be very important. And also making sure that you let your videographer know of all your expectations that you have for your wedding day, as in terms of shots; and where you need you videographer to be. He needs to be in certain locations at certain times. Also let him know ahead of time of what the schedule is for that, that day and the evening as well; as to like what your schedule, what your Reception is going to be; when are you going to throw your bouquet, when are you going to do your garter; when you are going to cut your cake, as well as when you?re actually filming your ceremony. What time the ceremony starts, who's going to be standing where. Make sure that you, it's always a good idea too, to even maybe even get together or invite them to the dinner; the dinner practice that you guys have before your wedding day because it's a good way for the videographer to get to know where everybody's going to be standing, who's going to be saying what; who's going to be doing what and to get to meet everybody in the party as well. Which also makes the videograher feel more comfortable? It's also important to get to your videographer before the wedding, not only the shot list but the any music; or sound bytes or anything that you want put into your video, so that he has everything that he needs in order to put together a good video for you and make sure that it's ready for your wedding video. Since a lot of these video's we do on an actually pre-wedding day. And then that way everything runs smoothly on the wedding day, he's not asking for music or what you want in your video; or if there's a certain order to your music or your, or your; or your photo's.
