Learn How To Tell A Compelling Story On Video

A common mistake beginners make is that they try to create a work of art with lots of special effects and other “eye candy.” That’s fine and you will see some stunningly beautiful examples in this DVD that may bring a tear to the eye. But don’t forget that wedding videos are first and foremost the story of two people joining their lives in front of friends and families.

What your clients want, whether they say it not, is a compelling documentary story of their wedding and video is the ideal way to tell this story. A good story has a beginning, a middle and an end. We’ll show you you to tell a good story and then, if you choose, you can use special effects in post production. But just make sure you capture the important people like grandparents and other family members. They won’t be around forever.

Some of the storytelling techniques you’ll learn:

• Great ways to begin the story of a wedding.
  
• The tricks of shooting the wedding preparations and other unstructured parts of the wedding day documentary style. We reveal the secrets and show you fully edited wedding preparation scenes from a variety of weddings.
• Learn how to make a powerful ending for your clients.
