I've been asked to do some video at a wedding a few weeks from now, they are not expecting anything special really special but thought it would be fun to have a some video of the big day (a least that’s what I was told by the bride – my cousin). It's a medium sized wedding; the ceremony starts about noon, about 90 guests will be attening the reception (I guess slightly less will make it to the brunch the next morning). It’ll be indoors in an old barn so I have absolutely no idea about lightning, but it probably won’t be very good.
I would love have some advice on what to do (and what not to do). I’m sure you’ve got some experience to share.
I plan to borrow some equipment, probably a Sony PD-150 or something like that, as the quality of my old HI8 isn’t the best and I would like to avoid having many hours of analogue capture.
I thought about getting a second cam on a tripod near the altar (I plan to check in advance for rules about filming in the church) to get the vow, is that a good idea?
Any tips on how to have a good time and still getting some quality footage?
What about sound? – My access to mics are rather limited so if I need anything special I probably have to start working on it now.
What shots are absolutely essential and what should be avoided?
And of course any links to resources on the net would be nice
