What are the different editing styles?

Impression - This editing style is what sets us apart from our competitors.

It's important to understand that every DVD we create is unique, there won't be another couple on the planet with a DVD like yours, it will be as individual as the two of you. So to define this as a style should not imply that everyone with an Impression edit has a film made the same - far from it.

With an Impression edit we edit the film for maximum entertainment and storytelling power, striking a balance between the two. Cutting down the footage and using music to accentuate the drama and vary the mood and tempo, we create a sharp, flowing piece of entertainment.

Things don't necessary have to be shown in the order that they occur on the day, we are telling the story of your life and so we may, for example, use the speeches to narrate that story with flashbacks to other parts of the day. We use advanced editing techniques to condense time, create atmosphere and send you on a rollercoaster of emotion as you sit down together and enjoy your film.

Impression Documentary - This style is used on the Prestige Package. It is similar to the Impression style, but with the additional components of the Prestige Package such as your childhood photos, interviews and honeymoon pictures we build up a documentary of your lives.

Traditional - This is a simpler editing style. There is no compromise on quality and professional production value but it has a more traditional narrative flow. In other words the events of the day are shown on the film in the order they were shot, so for example the film may start with people arriving at the church and go right through to the first dance chronologically. We cut less out of the ceremony, and the speeches are shown in full in one continuous sequence. Your choice of music is still used on this type of edit. Some people prefer this more traditional film style.

For the Elegance, Enchantment and First Dance packages we edit in this style as it suits these packages best. On The Classic package you may select this style instead of Impression if you wish and on The Prestige Package you get two versions of the film, both Impression Documentary and Traditional. Ring us to arrange to see examples of a Traditional edit.
