Documentary Film Ideas

I use at least 2 video cameras for my weddings. Camera 1 is always in the back and points down the isle, and is usually stable on a tripod. I’m usually manning camera 2 on a monopod. I like to move around the outer perimeter of the ceremony, in such a way that I do not interrupt the guests’ experience. As the bride walks down the isle, I kneel down with camera 2 at the edge of the first row of seats to get a frontal shot of the bride and father approaching the alter. As she comes down, about 2/3 the way, I move off to the side and the camera 1 in the back will cut in and record for a few minutes. Then I position myself and camera 2 such that I’m up front but to the side, so that I can get a better facial shot of the bride and for a closeup as she says “I do” or makes the kiss.
