One of the most important elements in creating excellent video footage is lighting.

Video cameras, unlike still cameras do not have built in flashes, and even if they did, they would be of no value whatsoever. This is due to ever changing lighting conditions that occur in every frame recorded.

Whether the footage is being recorded in the church or outside in the gardens, the person being filmed is usually in a state of motion, quite unaware of the changing lighting conditions that are happening with every step taken or every turn of the head.

For the camera operator, these constantly changing conditions offer a major challenge. And even with the most technologically advanced video cameras, a constant stable light source is critical in the filming process.

Just take a look at the credits at the end of any TV production and you will see how many people are employed in the area of lighting.

Obviously you can’t have a whole lighting crew with banks of lights surrounding you in the church. However, churches are notorious amongst film makers for ‘problems’ (challenges) regarding lighting. So what is the best solution to this problem area? The answer lies in two parts:

A) Preparation.
B) Correct lighting.

Obviously budget is of primary concern to you, and with this important point in mind, it is for this reason that we offer the following options when considering what film package suits your budget. There are film companies who will try and convince you that a single “experienced” camera operator, without the correct lighting for the task at hand, can produce the perfect film of your very special day. This is simply not true. And we would advise you to be very critical regarding this issue when previewing the various demonstration DVD’s from different companies.

HDVC, as a reputable and caring film company, simply offer you the following additional options to consider:

OPTION 1: £100.00 Attending your service rehearsal.
This is invaluable to ensuring correct placement of cameras and lighting during your actual church service.

OPTION 2: £100.00 The services of a trained lighting engineer for your church service.

OPTION 3: £100 Slideshow
We are now offering a Slideshow on DVD disc, of 100 natural images captured from video footage shot during the course of your wedding day. The images will be a selection of natural shots of you, your family and your friends. It may also contain interesting scenic views not shown elsewhere on your film. Each image will be processed and treated in image editing sofware before being transfered to the slideshow. Appropriate music will be added, either chosen by yourself or us, whichever you prefer. The service is included in our Platinum Package as standard, but may be ordered as an extra with the Bronze, Silver or Gold Packages.

The Slidewhow is presented in a standard DVD case. The insert is creatively designed from images taken from your wedding day by our own very talented graphic designer.
