Additional Questions and Answers

Can you describe the cinematic style that you utilize at Absolute Media Productions?

The term is defined as making a movie or film and usually borrows heavily from techniques used in major motion picture movies.  Cinematic styles aim to increase the emotional impact using dramatic music and the use of effects such as slow motion, coloring, and multiple camera angles.  It is usually presented with a particular "wow" effect that may not be present in a mere "documentary" of the event.

Can you tell me more about your short form videos?

A video of the day that has been edited to fit within a time frame of 30-45 minutes in length.  A good short form video will leverage elements of the cinematic style.  Short form videos are optimal because they complement the cinematic form and provide the bride & groom with a final product that is artistic, intimate, and elegant, while remaining a pleasure to watch anytime with friends, family, or just with each other.

What do you cut out in  a short form video?

Nothing is cut out of a film in a Short Form edit.  Each event of the day is reduced down from its original format to a shorter form.  This increases the storytelling aspect of your film, as well as makes it more enjoyable to watch.  You don’t need to watch every single moment of your wedding day to relive the beauty and emotion...In fact, cinematic short-form enhances these emotions.  Don’t believe us?  Watch one of our demos, or come in to the office to see more!
