There are definitely going to be so many wedding trends that are bound to pop out this 2020 to usher in a new decade of creativity and romance and at the forefront of it are avant-garde minds that keep pushing the envelope of filmography. How do you keep your same day edit (SDE) as well as the rest of your wedding videos engaging, emotional, and energizing? Here are some tips.
Distinct Music
Staying on track with romantic and mellow sound selection is the go-to choice if you want your videos to be like all the others. Wedding films shouldn’t be confined only to sappy sound tracks. Try an edgy track to feature the bride and groom’s gear. Save the mellow track for the vows, then hit the audience with a high energy dance track!
Short is Sweet and Suave
Talk to your videographer ahead of time and ask to shoot scenes dynamically. For choreographed scenes, as that it be shot repetitively from a lot of angles. For real time scenes, it’s also important to shoot it from different angles so enlist a team with multi-cam setup. In light of all this, make sure that no one scene lingers too long, keeping only the meaningful frames on the SDE and skipping out on unremarkable details which may even exclude the sermon. Brief bursts of moments could be the wedding trend this 2020 that could help every video unique from each other.
Switch it Up
In the same way that your SDE shouldn’t confirm to a standard romantic soundtrack, you can also switch up the format too. You can mix videos with photos if your videographer can make it appear seamless. You can also divide a single SDE into meaningful sections instead of a single body of cut-to-cut vids that lasts for only one song.
Plan your Wedding around the SDE
Here’s a thought: your SDE and other video material will be your only takeaway from your wedding that you will help you relive the moment again and again. From the get go, plan your wedding not only to go through the motions; ensure that your guests are laid out and pumped up to get into the groove of the party. Make your entourage do a simple choreography, encourage the audience to dance along to the music, get high powered entertainment, and layout the wedding and the reception such that everything looks good on the camera. It might be new, but high energy wedding are about to be the trend from 2020 onwards.
