Mistakes to Wedding Photographer and Video Maker
Different wedding photographers are prone to different sets of mistakes. Yet there are some common pitfalls that are more widely prevalent. In this presentation we will try to identify and discuss those.
Following is a generally recognizable list of the potential hazards encountered in wedding cinematography:
Common oversights of beginners in pre-production:
1. Lack of planning. Money and time available determine the job contours, outline so therefore careful consideration of budgeted time and finances will determine the allocation and distribution of resources. This will ensure smooth operation.
2. Lack of research. Fact finding is an important element.
3. Lack of storyboard. This shows each scene and the action contained within for instance how the camera will be set up.
4. Lack of scheduling.
5. Not locking down exposures, focus etc.
6. Insufficient attention to lighting
7. Bad sound recording
The above are only a small sample of common oversights that a wedding cinematographer is prone to. As the saying goes ‘experience is the best teacher’. So the wedding photographer will have to serve an apprentice period in the field. He will need to traverse the learning curve several times to grow into a leading professional.
Kashif Dossani and his team have come out through the rigorous training schedules. They have learned about the oversights and pitfalls not only through formal professional schooling but by virtue of years of practical experience.
Dossanis and the wedding cinematography
Dossanis are the pioneers in the field of wedding cinematography. The list of their satisfied clients is growing and is indeed a testimony to their professional excellence.
The Dossaniplus team led by Kashif Dossani gives minute attention to details. They anticipate and try to foresee what can be the potential hazards in the filming of their assignments. This exacting preventive mechanism helps them to eliminate or at least cut the possible mistakes down to a manageable proportion.
The Dossaniplus team also takes into consideration such factors as Pre wedding coverage, professional pictures, wedding Cinematography, wedding photography, cinematic wedding video. We will briefly elucidate the meaning and significance of each of these topics.
Pre Wedding Coverage explained
Pre-wedding coverage allows the cinematographer the opportunity to work at his leisure thereby applying his mind to creativity. He can experiment with new and novel ideas. He can produce results that are exciting not routine run of the mill. The atmosphere is not hectic rather it is serene. He has the space to rectify mistakes, if any. The higher number of events in a proper wedding shoot does not allow the photographer similar stress free working conditions and the limited time available does not allow any freedom to experiment.
Advantage of pre-wedding coverage
Another advantage in a pre-wedding shoot is that the photographer can film a couple in a very relaxed manner. He may select a neighborhood park or a place which has a sentimental significance for the couple. The couple become friendly with the photographer and they can discuss various items such as props, locations etc. to ‘look natural’. The pre-wedding shoot allows the photographer to include some of the footage in to the Feature Film which he will make after the wedding.
Wedding Picture Ideas
Wedding cinematography is a vast field. It starts with the pre wedding ideas and carries through all the wedding functions till the last guests leave and the wedding couple arrive at their home at the end of the programme. Kashif Dossani and his team painstakingly breakdown the entire task into manageable segments and plan for each segment and thereby get the wedding picture ideas. The wedding cinematographer will study individual client situation and focus on the client preferences. These could include such factors and phenomenons as wedding dress, jewelry, location of the wedding event, important VIP guests, bride or groom’s childhood schools, residences etc.
Professional Pictures versus amateur pictures
There would be many amateur photographers happily clicking away their cameras or cell phone cameras in any wedding event. Their efforts are laudable. However their output lacks the excellence which only a trained wedding cinematographer can deliver.
Wedding Cinematography
The art of shooting wedding events is commonly referred to as wedding cinematography. Again this is a field of specialization for Dossaniplus who are rightly acknowledged as leaders in the field.
Wedding photography, cinematic wedding video are terms that are interchangeably used to describe the same or similar function as wedding cinematography.
Conclusion / Epilogue
The above brief discourse enlightens the reader into the subject of wedding cinematography including tips on how to avoid the common oversights.
