Wedding Videography W-705-B

This two-day weekend workshop is specific to creating a video of a wedding. The first day, we consider the unique challenges facing wedding videographers and examine strategies and equipment necessary to shoot a church ceremony and reception. Students develop a detailed concept for their final videos and a devise shooting plans to realize these goals. Next, we move to a local church where models serve as bride and groom and students practice shooting a church ceremony. Then the class moves to a "reception" where students practice shooting typical scenes. The second day is spent in MPW's video editing facility. After reviewing the prior day's shoot, students load their footage into the computers, log shots and edit their videos. Creation of a finished DVD, including graphics, packaging, menus and chapters will be discussed. Wedding videography can be extremely lucrative as a primary or secondary career. Pre-Requisite: Digital Video Production and Computer (non-linear) editing #701
