Top Ten Photo-Fusion Tips
Amazon-exclusive content from author Jennifer Bebb

1. You Are a Still Photographer, Not a Videographer
If the moment warrants a still image, make a still image. Your primary focus is making still images and your video coverage is designed to augment your stills.

2. Shoot More Video than You Need
A still image is all about a single moment. Video, on the other hand must be edited to showcase the perfect moment. Leave lead time before and after the clip you want to use, and record more video than you think you will need. You can always leave the extra clips on the cutting room floor.

3. Be a Ruthless Editor
Remember that you are a photographer first - the audio and video you are recording is designed to flesh out the story told by your stills, not overwhelm it. If the video doesn’t look great, don’t use it.

4. Practice, Practice, Practice
Take the time to get to know all the gear you are going to use while making Fusion. Test out everything, ahead of time, on friends, neighbors or your pet. Practice using a tripod, monopod, and other stabilizers. A wedding day is not the time to learn your gear.

5. Remember the Gift of Speech
Your clients are giving and receiving the gift of words they may never hear again. Record them with respect and care, and use those words in your final edit. This is a gift that grows in value over time.

5. Record More Audio than You Need
Your portable audio recorder will run up to 8 hours, so use that to record audio separate from your video clips. It is the audio that ties Fusion together, so record lots and edit out what you don’t need.

6. Be Prepared for Anything
Make a plan for the day, but be ready to change on a moment’s notice. That’s the nature of a wedding day - it’s unpredictable. Plan for everything you can, and stay cool when things go wrong.

7. Shoot Your Video with the Eye of a Photographer
If you are using a HDSLR, you know how to make great still images with it. Making video is similar - use your knowledge of light and composition to make your video and stills blend together cohesively. Take advantage of your ability to see the world in you own unique way.

8. Stabilize Your Footage
You might be able to make great still images at a slow shutter speed while hand holding your camera. Video is different - because you are recording more than a split second, it is challenging to hold steady. Wherever you can, stabilize your footage, especially during the ceremony and the speeches.

9. The Details Matter
As you do more and more Fusion, remember the details and nuances of a wedding day, will benefit from video as well. Make your still images first, then record some video of the details. Your attention to detail is important to your client.

10. Shoot for the Edit
The more you get right in camera, the less work you will have after the fact. This is particularly true with video footage. Shoot with your edit in mind - if you know you want a transition clip of the bride’s dress going on, shoot it in both stills and video. Having a sense of what you want your final piece to look like will help you choose when to record video and when to make stills.

This is image was made while the bride was having her dress done up. She had moved towards the window in an effort to cool down (it was a hot day) in the breeze. The wind caught the sheer curtains and blew one between the camera and the bride, and this is the result.

This image was made in and Art Gallery in New York City. The gallery was between exhibits so we had the opportunity to work in spaces that are normally closed to photographers. This was a large, bare room, but we loved the warmth of the ambient and the patterns on the floor and walls. We used a chair that was in the space and had her sit on the floor. We wanted the bride to be the focus of the image, so we needed to add some light to her face. We used a small video light to ensure that she was well lit, and kept our shutter speed low to ensure the warmth of the ambient light was present in the scene.

This image was made in bright sun on a beach in Mexico. We decided to take advantage of the sunlight and use it to our advantage. We simply had them embrace at the water’s edge, turning her eyes to our lens while asking him to hold her tight. With the aperture set at 2.8 and the compression of the 135mm lens, we knew that the background would be completely out of focus while she would be the obvious focus of the image.

《十大照片融合技巧》
作者Jennifer Bebb為亞馬遜獨家提供的內容

1. 您是攝影師,而不是攝像師
如果時刻需要靜態圖像,就拍攝靜態圖像。您的主要重點是拍攝靜態圖像,視頻則旨在增強您的靜態圖像。

2. 拍攝比您需要的視頻更多
靜態圖像只關乎一個瞬間。另一方面,視頻必須經過編輯,以展示完美的瞬間。在您想要使用的片段之前和之後留出時間,並錄製比您認為需要的視頻更多。您始終可以將額外的片段刪除。

3. 成為一個無情的編輯者
請記住,您首先是攝影師-您錄製的音頻和視頻旨在豐富您的靜態圖像所講述的故事,而不是壓倒它。如果視頻看起來不好,就不要使用它。

4. 多練習
花時間熟悉您將在製作融合時使用的所有設備。提前在朋友、鄰居或寵物身上測試所有東西。練習使用三腳架、單腳架和其他穩定器。婚禮當天不是學習使用您的設備的時候。

5. 記住語言的禮物
您的客戶正在給予和接受他們可能再也聽不到的話語的禮物。尊重和關心地錄製它們,並在最終編輯中使用這些話語。這是一份隨著時間增值的禮物。

6. 錄製比您需要的音頻更多
您的便攜式音頻錄音器可以運行長達8小時,因此可以使用它來錄製與視頻片段分開的音頻。正是音頻將融合在一起,因此錄製很多並刪除不需要的部分。

7. 做好萬全的準備
制定一個計劃,但隨時準備隨時改變。這就是婚禮當天的性質-它是不可預測的。計劃您可以做到的一切,並在事情出錯時保持冷靜。

8. 以攝影師的眼光拍攝視頻
如果您使用的是HDSLR,您知道如何以攝影師的眼光拍攝
