CAMERA ANGLES
Filming Of Wedding
Requires Planning

and fuses should be double
checked to insure they will
carry the added load Of your
lights.
A one-man attempt to film
an entire wedding and recep-
ton is almost certainly FORE
doomed to failure simply be-
cause there will be little or no
control over the activities once
they commence. 1t will there
for behoove you to enlist all
the competent help you can
secure. At least two cameras
should be ready at all times
and on indoor scenes other as
sistants should be at hand to
move the lights at your direc-
ton.
TwO-Man Team Helpful
II two cameramen are avail
able one can make the long
and medium shots while the
other can make the closeups
simultaneously. The extra
cameraman can go on ahead
to the church and be ready
to film the bride and attend
ants as they arrive while the
first is completing his sequence
as the wedding party leaves
for the church.
To make certain that all
goes we'll a shooting script
should be prepared and stud
led by all who will take part
in making the film. An actual
dry-run practice sequence can
be tried out during the rehear-
sal. The filming crew should
talk over "all the scenes and
agree where cameras, lights
and other equipment are to be
moved as the scenes progress.
If all the participants study
the script and know exactly
when to move a light or q
camera or when to produce a
needed film magazine or fresh
ly loaded camera. an excellent
wedding film can be the result.
Without these preparations
nothing will go right and the
project might well be aban-
doned before it starts,

The great sculptures of mu-

CAMERA ANGLES
BY A. J. WEDDERBURN
Curator Of Photography
The Smithsonian Institution

Inc Smithsonian Institution
A motion picture story Of a
wedding is admittedly more
difficult to produce than one
shot with a still camera but it
can be done and done well
with careful advance planning
and skillful execution.
The up-to-date still camera
is virtually a self-contained
unit with its flash attachment
which makes it independent Of
the floods that still go hand in
hand with indoor cinematog-
raphy. The photographer can
scoot from spot to spot with
his still camera. But, generally
speaking. the movie fan must
rely on bulkier accessory lights
for indoor filming.
While it is true that a light
bar attachment gives greater
freedom of movement to the
cinematographer than was
formerly possible when floods
on stands were used exclu-
sively, the light cord still is a
limitation both as to length
and as to getting around fur
niture and people during a
wedding and a reception.
Freedom Out of Doors
If the ceremony and re-
ception are held out of doors
there is a much greater free
dom of camera movement
without the artificial lights.
But it must be kept in mind
that a tripod is much more
essential to cinematography
than to still photography be-
cause Of the vital need in the
former for absolute steadinesS
and perfect composition. With
q badly composed still shot a
remedy can often be found
during printing. With moviesy
however, there is no correcting
for mistakes made during the
filming other than cutting a
scene entirely. And. as often
said before. unsteadiness dur
ing filming will be greatly
magn1fied when the image is
blown up to the greater pro-
portions of the screen.
No Chance for RetakeS
The reason, of course. for
all this ado about good film
ing practices is that wedding
and reception scenes cannot be
reinacted if you muff them
and wedding pictures, both
still and motion picture, are
always regarded by the bridal
pair as of top Importance.
To insure the prospect OF a
good movie record of a we'd
ding considerable advance
planning is necessary. A con-
ference with the prospective
bride and groom is a must to
determine just how the sched-
ule of events will take place
and when and where each i'm
portant sequence will be filmed.
Find out first what will be
expected Of you. If it is to be
a church wedding, there may
be insufficient light to film the
ceremony. If so. plan to I'LL
the gap with stills.
Keep View UnObstructed
In a garden ceremony you
must know exactly what will
transpire, when and how. Plan
where your camera must be
stationed to include all the
necessary footage. Make sure
your locations will not be &C.
cupied by guests and that
guests will not obstruct the
lens view.
With an indoor reception il
will be necessary to have
enough lights and reflector'
spotted around to insure ade.
Quate eXposureS for your scene.
