The following is a sample wedding shoot set up. A successful wedding shoot
can depend on many factors and requires massive amounts of footage. Stationary
multi-camera shoots supported by a mobile camera (for close-ups) is essential.
Critical shots should not be missed. Since each camera in a multi camera shoot
will have a separate soundtrack it is relatively easy to mix and match the
tracks for better quality. A small diagram that links to a larger one is at the
bottom of this page as well as other footage that is usually a part of the
production.
