Advantage of Hiring a Professional Videographer

The job of a professional videographer goes much farther than to record with a camcorder, it includes takes, angles, editing, light control, focus, audio control among some other things. I find interesting how the public visualize the job of professional videographers. While some people believe that having uncle John ,or aunt Jane to record their event is all they need to capture the essence of the day, a professional videographer offer a better product, since the professionals have an understanding about lighting, audio, focus and editing. To give a better example, when your uncle John record your event such as a wedding he probably only know to use the camera only in automatic, while a professional adjust the white balance and the Iris of the lens in accordance with the lighting condition of the place, the professional focus on what is happening while uncle John is jumping back and forth with the camera, the professional give you a DVD or Blue Ray with a menu in were you can choose to select a scene, special features, maybe an introductory video with music that set the mood for what was happening at that particular moment, while uncle John just burn a DVD straight from what he recorded on the camera "including bloopers", professionals edit their job so it look flawless.
If you think that having a member of your family to record a special event will be satisfactory for you by all means please do that, not only will save you money, but you will feel more comfortable knowing the person who is recording, but in the other side, if you want a flawless product with great visual effects, and a professional presentation, then you will be better off with a videographer with professional training in the area.
