- Do your research on videographers’ work. Watch all the videos and keep in mind that only the best shots make it to the showreel or to the website. If you don’t like them that much, there is little chance that your quinceanera video will be much better.
- If you are tight on the budget, go with a smaller package of a better videographer, rather than with full coverage of someone whose work doesn’t fit your style. Booking a highlight video might be all you need to show the best moments of the day. We at Fine Art Wedding Film also create Instagram one-minute clips, which are easy to share with family and friends.
- Set out enough time for the videographer between the formalities to ensure your shoot is not rushed. Only if there is enough time the videographer will be able to carefully compose shots. If you are running late with other arrangements you might miss out on those beautiful moments.
- Good lighting is essential for creating a stunning video. Speak to your videographer about the best time for outside shots. We at Fine Art Wedding Film prefer an hour before sunset, also known as the Golden Hour, which is perfect for portraits.
- A videographer cannot fix makeup and hair mistakes. To spare yourself unpleasant surprises do a makeup and hair trial before the Big Day. Then fit on the dress to see how it all comes together. Remember that things look different in real life than on camera, so take a few cellphone photos to get the full picture
- Include your family in your video shoot. For example, set out some time for capturing precious mother and daughter moments. Who else is special? Bring them in. After all, you want to make the most of your quinceanera video, don’t you?
