I think the point of this is that the person operating the camera was trying to get as much out of the occasion as he could. If you want to be a good videographer, you can't be part of the action and you're not going to be a fun-partaking participant. Getting the right shot means keeping your mental focus on the camera and what your audience will see. That pulls you out of the moment. Beats me why the guy in this clip was even carrying a camera. He seemed to interested in having a good time... would have been better to give the camera to anyone who just wanted to hang back... they would have had the more detached perspective to properly catch the interesting action. Besides which, there wouldn't have been a camera operator's voice incessantly whooping into the mic. |

What a waste of a great event.....i.e. put the camera in the hands of a drunken fool who points the camera in all the wrong places and misses all the money shots.
This reminds me of that old saying....even a broken clock is right once a day.....and this kind of camerawork style is called "wetlook captured by accident".....i.e. you feel the urge to tell the camera guy......"what happened.....was this a mistajke...cos you actually pointed the camera in the right place for a few moments".
As I said....just strap a GoPro to your dog and you would get more chances of the camera pointing at something interesting than this camera guy was able to do.

ps....this remind me of the famous "Alien Autopsy video" tv show in the 1990's.....which was a hoax....and in order to perpetuate the hoax the camera guy and editors purposely avoided showing any of the money shots.
Mind you....Stephen Spielberg used this technique of "never show more 4 seconds of a money shot" to great effect in his landmark film "Jaws" in 1975....cos he instrructed his film editor never to show more than 4 seconds of the shark's head in one cut, cos he said that if you showed more than 4 seconds then it would not be scary and people could then see it was a big rubber toy.
But I do not think the camera guy at this wedding is as smart as Stephen Spielberg....he was just drunk.
