My 2nd try on wedding videography, this time using monopod.

[tkp77]

Hi all, got a chance to try on another video shoot for a friend for his actual wedding day.
This time round I learn from the feedback from the previous video, I had use a monopod.

Still a tripod is too slow and bulky. Some of the shots are still shaky, cos the groom is much taller than me, and my monopod is too short for those narrow gate crash corridor shots. for open space shots, I took bait wider so I can use the monopod, and crop down during editing.

I hope I can receive a fly cam for xmas present this yr... (hope my wife see this... keke...)

Pls pls... continue to give me your precious feedback on my shooting and editing techniques.

Thank you, and best regards,

Francis Tan.

Generally opk but the bride name title is smaller than the groom. Should be all the same font size, then the wedding day font can be smaller that the names of the couple. Much nicer that way. By making Channi name smaller in font is like not giving her equal importance to her wedding day as the main cast but rather the emphasis i son the groom only. Women shouldn't be treated as unequal in their big day. Just my 2 cents worth of commets.

Thanks for your feedback, the font size effect did not come to my mind... I have to be more careful next time on how it will imply on the actual matters or perception.

Thank you.

Generally ok.

Transition from music track to voice track could be smoother and less abrupt. If this is express highlights I will not fault you, but if final product, a point to note.

I will hire you, if you would lose the vignette blur - which is the thing that bothers me most.

On shaky camera, dont worry too much about it, clients and most normal people won't notice, its a videographer thing. Even photographers don't notice immediately.

On 'directorship' - asking people to look at the camera for no reasons, is very cheesy, contrived and yesterday. A documentary style is more welcomed in today's context. The only time you ask people to look at your camera is when you engage them for a purpose, ie interviews, or an meaningful interaction with the viewers.

Great point by mnjohar too.
