Restrictions, Environment and Filming
Restrictions imposed by others (church, photographer, guests, reception, etc) and the constraints of the physical environment, safety, weather, poor acoustic conditions or other conditions outside our control can affect the quality and extent of the video coverage possible and Lana Johnson Video Production will not be responsible for scenes not included. It is therefore important and the responsibility of the Client to discuss and gain permissions with the venue (Church/Wedding Venue/other) that you are having your wedding filmed they may have filming restrictions that could impact on the quality of your wedding film. The Company will not video record any event in the rain or other inclement weather such as would damage Lana Johnson Video Production equipment. If weather conditions prohibit filming the event either in part or in whole and arrangements have not been made to move event indoors, retainer and moneys paid are non-refundable. The Company cannot guarantee video quality in adverse lighting or weather conditions, or in rooms generating a strong colour tinge to the light which may not be satisfactorily correctable during editing. It should be noted that filming in low light situations (e.g. small rooms, candlelight, disco/dance areas, evenings and nights outdoors) may impact on the quality of the image captured by the camera. The Client should acknowledge that videography requires reasonable lighting and that production may be compromised due to low or poor light levels. Environmental audio is recorded during certain parts of the day such as the ceremony and speeches. Lana Johnson Video Production will take great care that audio is recorded as professional as possible but is not responsible for extraneous sounds such as, but not limited to, air conditioning units, the ringing of mobile phones, passing emergency vehicles, crying children, coughing etc.
Prompting
If the order of the day includes the speeches before the meal then the Company will require a 10-minute set up time once the guests are seated and the bride and groom have been announced into the room – this is to facilitate moving equipment into position and setting up audio recorders we cannot be held responsible for loss of footage due to not being informed of the above.
Parking
Where any of the venue locations used for the wedding/reception have parking availability, one parking place must be reserved for Lana Johnson Video Production. This is to facilitate the moving of equipment into the premises, and allow easy access to spare equipment left in the vehicle.
Meals
If video coverage is greater than 5 hours, the client is required to provide a hot meal to the videographer(s). It is very important that this be served at the same time as food is served to guests. Vendor meals provided at any other time i.e. at the end of guest service may affect what footage we are available to capture as the videographer may be offsite.
Completion
The completed videos will normally be produced 6-8 weeks from the date of the wedding, however these time frames can be extended due to other ongoing work commitments such as filming or editing.
Receipt of the Video
Lana Johnson Video Production will assume that the Client accepts the quality of the finished video (supplied on USB or sent via a web transfer) unless the Company is informed to the contrary within 14 days of the video being received, no amendments can be made after this time.
Request to change the edit
The Client has chosen Lana Johnson Video Production on the basis of their shooting and editorial style therefore creative and artistic aspects, such as shooting and editing styles are at the discretion of Lana Johnson Video Production. Technical errors will be corrected free of charge.
Music Choice
Lana Johnson Video Production will supply appropriate licensed music for the video.
Filming, Equipment and Content
Every effort will be made to ensure your event is recorded in full on the day. Multiple cameras (where possible) are used to minimise problems caused by equipment failure and these are also used to film certain parts of the event from a different angle. No liability is accepted for failure of performance due to any circumstances beyond our control. In the unlikely event of an equipment failure or a cancellation by Lana Johnson Video Production, I will provide a full refund and accept no further liability. If only part of the event has been recorded Lana Johnson Video Production will negotiate a proportionate amount of the total cost to be refunded. If the company is unable to complete the engagement for any reason whatsoever we do our best to find another reputable company to film your wedding through our business contacts. If no such replacement can be found then our total liability is limited to making a refund of all money paid under the agreement. Whilst we will do our best to record all the significant parts of the ceremony and function, including any specific parts you have asked us to record, the contents of the recording shall be at our discretion and subject to conditions on the day. We can give no absolute undertaking to successfully record any particular event or part of the ceremony.
