Wedding Scene

We have finished filming this scene and have edited it at a high standard, we choose an appropriate song to play over the film. A song by Josh Woodward - "I'm letting go". We have cut this song to the chorus and playing the sentimental song lyrics to set the mood over the action of the female role crying, in means to get the audience empathising with her character.

This scene is the build up of emotions for the last scene. This scene needs to have an emotional effect on the audience as the first scene is just an opening and has no relation to them or to their knowing of the film so far. With this in mind, the showing of an important love binding day will then hit them with knowledge of what they have already found out and instantly feel empathy for the wife.
The viewing of both scenes would now inform the audience of what type of film this is going to turn out to be, the editing of the two clips but together are very different as opposed to one straight clip, it varies in pace and effects to make it more appealing to the audience.


Our initial idea was to have to newly married couple surrounded by friends and family, but to make this more of an affectionate scene we had them alone together laughing and joking as if someone was making a home video. To record this we only used a handed camera to give it more of an unprofessional feel as it was intended to. The editing used on this scene was simple as we used a zoom out effect on a still image to go to moving images, we also wanted to stick to the idea of it being a home made wedding video we are going to use a time-stamp and "rec" usually seen on a camera when recording. An aged effect has also been put on to give the idea of looking back in the past at what was.
