Unlocking the Magic of Wedding Videography: How to Capture Your Perfect Day
As an events specialist company traversing the globe, Zim Inspired Ltd. has had the privilege of witnessing over 100 unforgettable weddings throughout the past decade. In this time, we’ve seen a fascinating evolution in the world of wedding videography, particularly in the dichotomy between traditional and cinematic styles.
Wedding videos, much like the love they encapsulate, come in various forms. Traditional videos, akin to a chronological documentary, present a linear account of the entire day. These can extend to a couple of hours, meticulously detailing every moment from start to finish.
On the flip side, cinematic videos offer an artistic portrayal of your special day. Spanning 9 to 16 minutes, these videos capture the essence of your wedding through carefully curated highlights. They’re an emotional rollercoaster, showcasing not just the major events but also the subtle, intimate moments – the vows, laughter, tears, and the shared glances that tell your unique story.
The Art of Eliciting Emotions Through Video
A key distinction lies in how these videos evoke emotions. Traditional videos aim to encapsulate the day in its entirety, while cinematic videos craft a mesmerizing tale that resonates deeply. They intertwine visuals, carefully selected soundtracks, and effects, acting as an emotional time capsule. Sound, often overlooked, plays a pivotal role, contributing up to 50% of the overall impact. A well-engineered video harmonizes visuals and sound to create a captivating experience that can even be understood with the sound turned off.
The Evolutionary Trend: Short Form vs. Long Form Content
Intriguingly, the surge in short form content on platforms
like Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat has revolutionized wedding videography.
Whether it’s the preferences of the Gen Z generation or the availability of
short form content that triggered this change remains an enigma. Nevertheless,
this shift has propelled the demand for cinematic, succinct storytelling in
wedding videos.
