Real questions to ask your videographer
It’s the weekend. Yay! Time to soak up some rays…this is why I love Florida. Sun, beach, sand….
Today I want to talk a bit about a growing trend in wedding videography. More and more creative talent is popping up all over the country that is just plain tired of the stereotypical “wedding video”. We are so excited about this trend. My own wedding video was that exact stereotype, a small part of the reason I wanted others to avoid this mistake. After the onset of this new movement, there became an obvious difference between a regular wedding videographer and what some call a wedding “filmmaker”. We consider ourselves filmmakers because we love telling a story with each wedding video. We plan and edit your video that does more than just document your day. We do it in a way that brings you back to that day. Why do we love watching a good movie? Because we like to be absorbed in the story. Relate to the characters; feel what they feel. Why should your wedding “film” be any different?
The best part? We love doing this. And we welcome this trend. We want to properly educate each bride in the value of a wedding video/film. Most commonly when a bride calls to book a videography team, her first question is “how much?” But does she really know what she is buying?
I want to leave you with some questions that you would not normally ask a videographer. But they are just as important. This is important so that you know exactly what you get when you get a video from us, or from anyone else. Hopefully this will help in getting you a high quality video that you will enjoy for years to come!
- How do you plan to tell the story of my day?
- How long will it take to get my finished “movie”?
- May I see other clients’ video/movies, and read what they had to say about you?
- How do you get your shots without being in the way?
- Why are your services more expensive/less expensive than other companies?
- What do you do to make sure our movie is unique to our personalities?
- How do you vary your shots?
- How will my “movie” sound?
Have an awesome weekend!
