Usually, it refers to a venue wedding that can be held in a brightly lit venue by relying on the natural light of sunlight during the day without lighting assistance or a small amount of lighting assistance. Generally speaking, common open weddings are divided into indoor and outdoor.
Indoor open weddings are generally chosen in restaurants or banquet halls with large French windows. The light is bright, or it may be indoors with transparent skylights. The sun shone through the transparent top, and the whole wedding venue was bright. Outdoor outdoor wedding can choose a variety of venues: lawn wedding, beach wedding, courtyard or terrace wedding.
Dark wedding:
Usually, it refers to a banquet hall without natural light during the day or an outdoor night venue, where different atmospheres, different colors and different psychological feelings are realized through lighting design. Through the cooperation of music and lighting, the whole wedding process can be connected in series.
1. What are the characteristics of open wedding and closed wedding? What kind of wedding effect can it bring?
In the indoor Ming-style wedding, the atmosphere of the wedding banquet is the most prominent, and the decoration is dominated by floral art, cloth art and detail display. Create an atmosphere by decorating your own colors and styles. For example, in an outdoor wedding, people are completely integrated into the surrounding environment during the wedding, and natural space, scenery and buildings are all natural decorations. We can design a space wedding according to the characteristics of the venue, so that floral art, scene and environment can be organically integrated, or icing on the cake can achieve good results. In a dark wedding, the lighting changes the scene and atmosphere instantly like a magician, achieving ever-changing effects and creating a grand or emotional wedding scene. For example, blue ambient light makes people feel quiet and sacred. The warm light bulbs connected in series outdoors make people feel like a party, and patterns or words can be formed through the orderly arrangement of lights. Zhao Bei: From the shooting point of view, the whole wedding in Mingchang was bright and neat, and the light was evenly distributed. The main light is sufficient, which is convenient for taking exquisite, layered and colorful photos, and is more conducive to capturing some important moments of rapid movement. The characteristics and advantages of dark wedding are bright and dark, suitable for all kinds of lighting effects, and the effect is gorgeous and changeable. Some live lighting effects can be used in shooting to obtain interesting light and shadow effects.
2. What problems are likely to occur when couples hold a wedding ceremony?
Judging from the budget, tomorrow's wedding may save money. Generally, the decorative part only includes floral design, fabrics, details and so on. Although the budget of the lighting part in a dark wedding is more, the scene is usually bigger and the atmosphere is more changeable. Different from a bright wedding, it achieves multiple effects, controls people's psychological curve and reaches the climax of the wedding through the combination of various lights, colors, videos and music. Outdoor open-air wedding will be limited and affected by the weather, resulting in unforeseen accidents. Take lawn wedding as an example. The gale in April and June was 5438+00, and the rain or other bad weather in July and August greatly affected the normal holding of the wedding. Usually we will prepare 1-2 emergency plan for newcomers to solve sudden weather problems. However, weddings that encounter light rain will increase the romantic index.
In the wedding lighting in Ming Dynasty, it is difficult to separate the subject from the background. So try to simplify the environmental background, especially the location where newcomers focus. We can use some large aperture or telephoto lenses to blur the background moderately so as to highlight the main body. In addition, most people in China have their wedding ceremonies from 10: 30 to 12: 00 in the morning. If it happens to be sunny, the light angle at noon tends to be perpendicular to the ground, which is actually not conducive to shooting outdoor portraits. It is best to use an external light source to neutralize human facial light, so as to achieve better shooting results. The outdoor wedding will also be held from 4 pm to 6 pm. At this time, the illumination angle is about 45 degrees, the light is mild and the color temperature is warm, which is the prime time for outdoor shooting.
3. What is the magic of wedding lights in the dark?
The magic of lighting is that it can make various changes instantly in an inherent space, providing countless possibilities for the surreal atmosphere pursued by the wedding. Wedding lighting design can change the unfavorable conditions at the scene in a certain way, and make the needs of new people possible through the collocation and design of some elements. Wedding scenes with different colors and styles can be created by lighting. In addition, the coordination of lighting also played an important role in the whole wedding process. Different links, different emotional tones and lighting will show different effects, which will drive the couple's emotional expression and guide the guests' emotions into the wedding.
Do you need extra lighting for tomorrow's wedding?
The most important point of lighting design at a wedding is the lighting of the couple. The design of figure lighting is not only the essential basic lighting for the wedding scene, but also the guarantee that photographers and cameramen can leave perfect image records for the couple. Even for tomorrow's wedding, the lighting only ensures the basic lighting of the environment, which is not conducive to people's shooting. It is suggested that the lighting design of characters should be supplemented according to the site conditions to present a more stereoscopic and layered visual effect.
5. Just talking about the problems in the dark wedding? How to avoid problems?
In the wedding lighting design, whether it is ambient light or figure light, in addition to completing its basic functions, it should also be satisfied with the overall lighting collocation of the scene and be unified with the wedding layout style.
6. What wedding themes are suitable for public wedding and dark wedding respectively?
It is more suitable for tomorrow's wedding if the number of people is small, they want something simple and warm, or they like outdoor venues and distinctive architectural styles. However, a large number of people like prosperous new people, or hope that new people with various themes are more suitable for dark weddings. Newcomers can also combine the bright wedding with the dark wedding: one is the form of family late wedding ceremony+indoor warm wedding banquet, and lunch and night banquet can be used. The other is to choose to hold a dinner outside, hold a ceremony before dark, and hold a wedding banquet and party when it is dark.
7. What problems will the couple encounter in the secret wedding?
Dark weddings are often restricted by the power and height of the venue, which has a great influence on the design and effect of lighting. In this case, it is suggested to protect the face light and figure light in the main ceremony area. You can add a point light source to the atmosphere to increase the warm and romantic atmosphere. Ensure the wedding effect with the least number of lights. In the absence of professional lighting design, the communication between technicians and photographers is particularly important, at least to ensure the surface light of the stage and the pursuit of light by new actors. Measure the color temperature before the ceremony to reduce the irregular flicker of colored lights.
The disadvantage of dark wedding is that the environment is dark, so it is necessary to turn on the flash to fill the light or improve the camera setting of 150 when shooting. Turning on the flash directly will cause the loss of the scene environment, while increasing the setting of 130 will increase the noise, detail and clarity of the photo. Moreover, if the lighting effect is not exquisite enough, it will often make the environmental effect light directly act on the characters, causing color cast and seriously affecting the shooting effect. Therefore, the lighting design in the early stage should be careful. In shooting, better picture effects can be obtained by using advanced flash skills reasonably or grasping the opportunity of not turning on the flash. In addition, an advanced professional camera with higher parameters of 180 is also an essential weapon in a dark wedding. Such equipment can make the photos taken less noisy and provide a higher success rate of capturing wonderful moments.
8. Give some advice to the couple, whether it's a public wedding or a secret wedding.
After choosing the venue for tomorrow's wedding, when choosing the location of the flower gate and the ceremony platform, we should consider the overall sense of the surrounding environment to avoid messy background. If it is outdoors, if possible, it is best not to choose the wedding time after dawn. Dark weddings have high requirements for lighting, planning and photography. Attention should be paid to the importance of the main stage surface light in the lighting setting and arrangement | At the same time, attention should be paid to the regional control of rendering ambient light. Try to choose a truly professional and high-level wedding team.
Every wedding will be limited by some venues, and some ideas are difficult to realize in some venues, so the lighting design needs to be adapted to local conditions. Newcomers can't just pay attention to the lighting effect and ignore the design of dance beauty. The perfect wedding visual effect is the organic combination of lighting and beautiful dance design. How to fully consider the cooperation between dance beauty and lighting in the early visual design needs to be handed over to a professional team. In addition, the design of wedding lighting is not the pursuit of showiness. It is most important for us to create the most suitable wedding atmosphere through lighting and highlight the feelings of the couple.
9. Which shooting styles are suitable for open weddings and which shooting styles are suitable for dark weddings.
In fact, the shooting style is not directly related to what kind of wedding. If-there must be a difference, it is only in the back! ; There are some styles that emphasize film restoration. Ming wedding is more suitable for bright, concise and refreshing late effect, while dark wedding is more suitable for solemn, classical and dignified late style. Of course, this is not absolute.
