3 Cinematic Lighting Techniques to Make Your Wedding Video Shine

When you want affordable wedding videographers in the Philippines, the smaller the budget you have, the more likely are you to sign up a startup. That in itself isn’t a bad thing—the most talented people often start on small and independent startups to grow a big wedding services company of their own. To pitch in with the aesthetic that you want for your wedding video (so that you get the shots you want and the wedding team get a feel for your general aesthetic), here are three stunning lighting techniques you may want executed in your wedding video.

Backlighting & Silhouette

This is perfect for accomplishing 2 things in a wedding video: 1) you can use the effect to conceal the subject through just a silhouette. This is great for pre-nup shoots so that the audience can glimpse the bride but only as a silhouette. 2) It can be used to give emphasis to a moment instead of who are playing the moment like, say, a kiss against a sunset or holding hands over the horizon.

Bokeh

For directors, cinematographers, and affordable wedding videographers in the Philippines, the technique of using bokeh actually does a couple of things to a scene. It introduces the environment through blurred lighting and adds emotional focus to the subject by giving the subject, the foreground, and the background a good amount of depth. For weddings that go on towards the evening, especially if the reception venue or the church has soft LED lighting all around, bokeh could add a nice touch of emphasis to the bride & groom dance or when guests give their emotional testimonies.

Contrasting Color Temperatures

Contrasting color temperatures through lighting puts the subject in the tensioning middle. It either conveys confusion or complete resolution. This shot could possibly be hard for an affordable videographer in the Philippines to pull off (especially since it’s more commonly used in action scenes) but, if done right, it will add a different texture of magic into your wedding video.
