Wedding albums on vidéocassettes vidéocassettes are the growing matrimonial rage, quickly replacing photographs and leather bound volumes as the memory medium of choice. However, successfully capturing a wedding wedding ceremony on videotape is a technically technically tricky feat that requires preparation and planning. "Many wedding photographers now offer video as an added service," explains Bob Burnett, a home videotape expert at 3M. which makes market-leading Scotch brand vidéocassettes. "However, if you plot all your moves in advance, you can easily do it yourself." Burnett is in a position to know, since 3M won an Emmy for the invention of videotape and an Oscar for film sound.

Nevertheless, it is always best to visit the site before the big day. Burnell says. Decide on your lighting and sound requirements requirements before the crowds arrive. Attend the run-through the night before. before. so you know where everyone will be standing and what will transpire. If you require auxiliary lighting, now's the time to decide where lo place your light stands, or practice getting the best effects from a single hand-held light. Of course, make sure extension cables and wiring arc tucked and taped out of the way. And. you might want to bring along a small audio cassette recorder lo tape organ music or other sounds that your camera's microphone might otherwise miss. Now you arc ready to go. But. according according to Burnell, it still pays to know some basics: ll Take different kinds of shots. Keep moving throughout the ceremony and capture it from various angles. Be sure to "establish" the location of the wedding with environment details. Use long shots that capture the couple surrounded by people -- tossing the bouquet bouquet and showered hy rice, perhaps -- medium shots that bring you closer to the action, and close-ups that deliver the emotion and mood of everyone involved. 2) Remember to catch the reactions of the crowd. Shots such as the mother of the bride wiping away a tear will edit nicely into the final videotaped package. 3) Beware of backlighting! In other words, make sure the light is coming over your shoulder and not from behind the backs of your subjects. Backlighting results in silhouettes rather than well-lit video images. 4) Shoot plenty of tape and. remember. remember. there's far more to a wedding than just the ceremony. Tape behind-the- scenes shots of the bride and groom readying for the procession, for example. Follow the new couple out to the car-- and to the reception, for a champagne toast and cake. Don't worry about chronological chronological order because you'll have lo edit the tapes anyway. 5) Bring enough battery power. Carry backups if your VCR's battery won't last for several hours worth of taping.
