GENRE, STYLE & NICHE MARKET OF INTEREST

There are many ways to film a wedding as it depends on the length of the event, budgets, location and time; the filming’s methods vary.
People recently follow the trends that make their wedding video cinematic, custom- detail. Some might want their video same-day edited or ceremony love story. People want to make wedding videos the same with an excellent service in which customer can receive their product fast, convenient and affordable. Also, people love to see their wedding shot from drone which is getting easier to access for filmmakers.

Common wedding film styles commonly range from documentary to cinematic. Besides, there are some special styles such as “Concept Videos”, “Highlight”,” Short Form wedding”. The style is different based on how it is shot, edited and colored.
Cinematic style requires a lot of creative angles, slow motion edit pace, appealing visual effect as well as good flow to tell a good story. On the other hand, the documentary is much simpler, but it focuses more on pure stories and subjects around the story. Therefore, interview, presenter usually appear in the documentary.

I was influenced by many famous talented filmmakers such as White in Revery, Matt Johnson, Rick Pendergraft & Jason Magbanua. They have become very famous thanks to their unique style. These filmmakers come from all around the world, some from busy cities, some from beautiful countryside. So, their videos have different vibes but overall their storytelling technique is outstanding. The color from the video is so pop and moody. They might have the same color thorough out several of their videos, so it ‘s unique whenever I saw that color it will remind me of him.

I love them because of their music choice and how they combine it into the interview, from there they can tell the love story better.
For me, they are successful because not only because their dedicated works, but also how they approach the clients They share they might work with the couple many days before the actual wedding day to understand their story, client’s personality as well as their expectation. Some filmmakers show their care by giving gifts or special wedding money box so that clients can feel their dedication and might shout out them in clients’ social media. From there, their reputation goes further and further.

To achieve the level like these pro filmmakers, I will try to improve my color grading in different tones and moods. Besides, framing and motion of the video are quite important so I want to enhance my continuity in a movement when composing. The angles and depth of fields will make the subject more appealing so I will try to implement a different angle to understand how it can help to improve my film.
Using social media like Instagram or Youtube to show my video and increase the interaction between me and my clients/future clients.

This project’s theme is neon photography. It was inspired by Brandon Woelfel.

He is so popular for his neon photography. As he is always out the street to shoot with organic light source such as sign of restaurants. By his creative use of DVD, mirror to reflect the light. Besides, he also use Led light put around the model and camera’s lense to create a depth and great bokek.

By doing that,he can pull so much out of the picture and make it pop out.

 I decided to go shooting with my friends in a Vietnamese coffee house. Using neon sign as the key light, I used DVD disk to reflect as well as phone’s screen. So that the light will bouncing around the model.

He pictures was a bit dark at first but using retouching skin and the combo of Hue, Sat and Lumination in Photoshop, it changed the colour of the picture a lot.

Importance of visual

Visual is more appealing than text and attracts viewer to click. From there, the authors get more audience for the platform

How does he use social platform?

First of all, he links all his social media pages together, when you access to one of his pages, you will able to see others in the top. This is really smart and essential as it increases the awareness of people about his work as well as the number of viewers.

Consistency and dedication is two major thing I can see in all of his post. He did all the big project so he might post once a week or few per months. But during his work, he post a lot of BTS or process related to his works.

He posts final pictures, camera info, BTS video as well as the process of how he has done a photoshoot. That expands his audiences as some people are curious about how did use the camera to get those shots. Some people are just enjoying his work process through BTS videos.

Therefore, by showing his work in different ways, he increases significantly the number of viewer.

His social media platform brings people together and create a community.

Below his posts is a comment section that people leaves their thought or discussion. It’s also the way he receives people feedback on his works. It is also helpful that people can give him a lot of new ideas.

New company or business can reach out to him thorough his pages.

3.Connect with other brand or company

By connect his work with particular company, it is 2 way benefit. By creating great works and his photograph was showed in that particular company, people see it and will reach out to him.

Producing this video is an interesting process, but at a same time, it is quite tough challenge.

At first, I haven’t had any ideas of the video that I am going to make. As I’m not a funny person, I chose to combine advertising and emotion video to advertise my favourite kind of chocolate. Hazelnut Milk Chocolate.

A story of the sad boy who just broke with his girl friend. With him, everything seems boring and this chocolate’s sweetness bring him back to life.

I starting describe how his life is after broken up, he was getting drunk. Besides, I also trying to draw up how loneliness he is.

After the short video, all I want to say is whatever you might face with, there are always some sweet things that waiting for you as life is means to be like that.

I capture a sequence of portrait for my friend K.

After setting right white balance & exposure, i try different angle to get different looks. Moreover, I use the advantages of DOF, i shoot through the leaves, so that the foreground will be blur and create a nice bokeh.

Besides, I put her in the position where the light can light her up. I also use reflector in order to soften the light. Using different focal also bring different feels of the subject so that I use both 24mm and 50mm so I can capture something different.

Instagram is the most powerful and useful social platform nowadays. The app is easy to use, but I still faced some difficulties when doing this challenge.

Starting with building an Instagram account, I research some online tips to how to create pop pictures as well as Instagram designs. Then I create a bio, but i don’t know how to separate the bio into different lines. But after that, I watch some Youtube video and I was able to do that by using “return” key in the corner on my phone’s keyboard.

Then I prepared all the picture that required as I didn’t have all of it. Because of the subject limitation, I use things around me like my Violin, box, apple or Dollarama trees to shoot some photos. I also bring my friends to the wood to shoot a snow theme picture .

After all preparation steps, I start organizing, editing and posting it on my Instagram. Although it is a tedious process but I found happy after all as I felt like I created my own art gallery. A difficulty I face here is how to think a caption and hashtags. As I was ran out of ideas, I just simply described it by a simple word.

Facing all the difficulties makes me feel I am growing. Even though there wasn’t really easy but I feel grateful that I’ve done it and I know more.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
