In order for the memory of the wedding to be preserved for a lifetime, you need to take care of photo and video shooting in advance. It is best to entrust this matter to professionals. However, do not forget to ask about their attitude to alcohol - it will be a disaster for you if the operator "breaks" during the celebration. If you agree to shoot with any of your relatives, acquaintances or invitees, then do not forget that the person will not jump out of the table or interrupt the dance to take an interesting shot. After all, he came here to have fun, not to work.

Next, I want to give instructions for amateur photographers and videographers. First of all, take care that the photo and video equipment is in good working order, there is a sufficient amount of film and video tape, spare batteries are available, do not forget about lighting fixtures and a flash. When buying film, pay attention to the expiration date, place of manufacture (not China!), sensitivity.

Keep in mind that most of the celebration will have to be held indoors, with insufficient lighting (this is where a flash comes in handy). In the cold season, lenses fog up when entering the room, so you need to have a piece of very delicate cloth on hand that will not scratch the surface of the glass. It is better to avoid very low temperatures and abrupt transitions from warm to cold and vice versa.

Of the equipment, it is best to have a SLR camera and (or) a large video camera. It is inconvenient to use a small video camera, because. when shooting for a long time, hands begin to "walk", it is difficult to fix the image in the viewfinder on the subject, and the cassettes often have to be changed, usually there is no illuminator. Large camcorders do not have these significant drawbacks.

Specifically, as far as video recording is concerned. Find out in advance the exact start time of the ransom, wedding, registration, etc., come early - there will be less excitement for the newlyweds and their parents. So it starts...

Redemption

The average duration is 10-40 minutes.

If the ransom of the bride begins from the entrance to the entrance of the house, then it is necessary to sit behind the bridesmaids who meet. Firstly, this way the voice will be better recorded through the microphone of the video camera, and secondly, it is more likely that the groom's friends will not drop you during the assault (there is a powerful defense of the girlfriends ahead). You will need a illuminator, because. the hallways are quite dark. It is better to shoot the ransom in its entirety - there are a lot of very interesting shots here. The main plan is to shoot the groom with friends and only a little - the meeting party.

Church

Ask if it is allowed to film the wedding ceremony in the church. You should move less around the room, do not attract the attention of the priests. It's best to shoot from the side. The wedding ceremony lasts at least 30 minutes. You can shoot in pieces, the most key moments: entering the church, when the crowns are placed on the young, walking around the altar, presenting icons, etc.

REGISTRY OFFICE

Find out the shooting conditions in the registry office in advance. Sometimes there are institutions where it is forbidden to shoot, offering their "unobtrusive" services. Find out where you can stay when you check in. It happens that it is forbidden to move forward and you have to shoot only the backs. It is best to choose a place so as not to disturb anyone and move less around the hall - so you will not annoy the head of the registry office.

When entering the registration hall and exiting, you must move ahead of the newlyweds.

Tell the newlyweds to turn around during the exchange of rings to the guests.

Be careful when opening champagne bottles - splashes fly very far!!!

After the registry office

After the registry office, usually young people make a trip to places of interest. In different settlements, this happens in different ways: for example, laying flowers at a monument, passing N-th number of bridges, visiting elderly relatives, in the end, just stopping somewhere and organizing a camping table on the trunk of a car. This event is usually attended by young people.

You can take several freeze-frames (when the photographer takes pictures near the monument, a group of friends is photographed, etc.), shoot congratulations and first toasts. Before the trip, hot young heads must be warned not to organize auto races or block the road with their cars, creating an emergency. On Russian roads, it is also impractical to film while driving a car - the camera constantly bounces.

wedding feast

Here we are approaching the wedding table. When shooting a wedding evening, it is necessary to maintain constant contact with the toastmaster. It's best to read the script beforehand. As usual, it all starts with a meeting of the newlyweds. Here you can capture the moment when a car with young people drives up. Then you need to be as close as possible to the parents, who meet the young with bread and salt.

I will not retell the whole scenario, I will focus on the key points. It is necessary to constantly monitor the toastmaster and others ("A sober person at a wedding is a spy!" How relevant it is. It is the wedding theme that appears in the popular TV show "The director himself"). Somewhere in the middle of the evening, the heated young people decide to kidnap the bride, or at least her shoes. Here it is necessary to keep a distance, it is better to shoot from the side.

When holding "pancakes" (or a similar event), one must approach those who are toasting so that the voice is well recorded. When picking up "garbage" it is best to take a position on a hill a little to the side. In all these cases, you will save the camcorder and yourself from possible troubles. During shooting, check the amount of filmed tape and the condition of the batteries. You should not film a lot of dances, especially if they do not stand out with anything original. Do not forget that in later life it will be interesting for the newlyweds to look not only at their happy faces, but also to remember all their guests.

During the entire celebration, it is necessary to capture on film every one of those present: toasting, dancing, singing, drinking, participating in competitions, etc. After all, it is a memory for a lifetime. In this movie, there is no second take - everything is only in a single copy. Excluding copies of your video. It happens that guests copy the film "as a keepsake", or a duplicate is sent to relatives who could not attend the wedding.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>
