Editing/ Editing Style: “Bright Light Studios” shall give the client two options for the editing of the wedding video that must be decided on before the recording of the wedding video. Cinema-Blend is one option that the client shall have in choosing which is a type of full/final wedding video that will last a minimum of 30 minutes and a maximum of 2 hours (depending on the wedding’s length). The editing of Cinema-Blend will not be that of a storytelling format and if chosen by the client hereby understands and agrees with that at times camera movement, camera shake, and undesirable footage/sound may be used in order to properly showcase this editing style and that once chosen another style can not be substituted for it.
