  wedding. This person shall be referred to as P-O-C and will be
  requested to kindly let us know the names of the final friends / relatives
  whose audio bytes we shall be shooting for the Highlight Film. We will
  also rely on this person to inform these people about their audio bytes
  and make sure that they all turn up for their bytes as pre-decided
  groups. We avoid shooting any frames on the final day of the wedding
  so the shooting of all these audio bytes will need to be wrapped up on
  prior days. Please note that these bytes are the magic of the film and so
  try and give us names of people who are not shy to speak in front of the
  camera.

SOME FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS
1) Who selects the music and film titles for the movies
   that are released?
  Music and songs selection are a joint decision of the client and the edit
  team. A client co-ordinator from the studio shall be co-ordinating this.
        Category
  Usually                       Allocated
            the creative visualizer        Budget takes care of
                                    of the project           Budget    Used
                                                                this. The film
  titles are usually suggested either by the client or the film director and
  approved by both.

 2) Will our wedding planners, other vendors name feature
    in the film?
   Oh absolutely. And they will love their names on the big screen just like
   a feature film.

 3) Can we also have additional photographers /
    videographers along with TWS?
   Absolutely NOT. You are paying us big bucks to do the job. Save money
   and hire only one team. The other advantage of this is that we will get
   unobstructed visuals without badly dressed / mis-behaved and
   arrogant local photographers jumping into our frames and ruining the
   candid film moments. We request you to please inform your vendors /
   relatives about this essential clause. In past cases we have encountered
   other teams suddenly turning up at the venue without the client’s
   knowledge and such teams have spoilt the quality of our work.

4) Why does it take 90-100 days for the delivery of our
   wedding HL film?
  Film editing is an extremely tedious and creative process and we work
  with some of the best editors in the industry who are perfectionists and
  believe in the highest quality of film editing. After seeing hours and
  hours of footage they select the best of the best shots for the HL film
  and naturally all this takes time. As a thumb-rule, each minute of final
  edit takes about one day to finalize once the final edit begins. Rest
  assured, once you see your final HL film, the wait will be well worth the
  time.
The Wedding Story Contract                                                   07

 5) What is the one round of permissible change allowed once
    we see the film? Is it one change per delivery (FF, HL, TR etc.)?
   No changes permitted in the Full films (FF) unless there is a grave edit
   error. One round of changes in the Highlight film means that once the
   couple sees the film for the first time, they can add / delete some clips
   as per their liking. Some close relatives whose footage is unintentionally
   missed by the editors can be added in this round. Any other minor
   changes   can also be corrected.
       Category                         But
                                Allocated    please note thatBudget
                                           Budget             major Used
                                                                    changes
   may not be possible / charged extra. Examples of major changes are -
   - Addition of an event / events
   - Changes in music track
   - Replacement of more than ten clips of friends / relatives
   - Changes in the film titles / credits etc.

 6) Do we get the raw footage? How is it usually delivered?
    Everything that has been shot by us is rightfully your property. We don't
    hold back anything. You get all the RAW videos and all processed
    photos (The bad ones are deleted forever) as well as the final videos on
    a 2TB hard drive provided by you. RAW videos are clips of the videos
    shot by all our cameras (May be useful in edits later like
    first anniversary / 25th anniversary etc.)

  7) Will our trailer or Highlight film be released on Social
     Media as well?
    Highlight films are usually uploaded on our vimeo channel at a nominal
    cost. We do not release / upload the highlight films on our facebook /
    YouTube channel. Trailers are shorter versions and more exciting videos
    and hence we release them worldwide on our YouTube page. However,
    the release depends on a few factors. Firstly, we do not release trailers
    of couples who don't want them to be shown publicly. We respect your
    privacy but this clause has to be specified at the time of signing this
    contract. As a thumb rule, out of every 10 films we release one on our
    public channel – For the release, the film has to have a very strong story
    angle or a unique feature or destination – without that the release on
    the page may not be possible.

 8) What if the delivery is delayed by TWS?
    It is rare that the delivery of the film is delayed beyond 100 days. But it is
    possible that the director of film / director of the company is unhappy
    with some portions of the film and requests for a re-edit - in which case
    a delay might happen. All we can say is that it is for the benefit of the
    film and the client. Most great cinema blockbusters have been delayed
    but have turned out better due to the re-edit. So it is all in good spirit.
    We apologize for the inconvenience (should a delay happen) but assure
    you that we will not release anything that we don't absolutely adore. So
    please be patient and give us time to work our magic.

  9) Can we come and see the RAW footage and select our shots?
    We shoot thousands and thousands of film clips from multiple cameras
    and sometimes the total duration of these RAW clips exceeds 50-60
    hours of footage for a typical three-day wedding. At the studio, these
    clips undergo careful conversion and screening and a battery of editors
    work night and day to create a first cut of the best clips for the chief
    editor. This process is almost factory-like with editor stations brimming
    with activity through odd hours. Client interference at this stage will not
    only delay the final edit by double but also disrupt the Zen-like
    concentration of the editors going through the footage in their own
    space and time. So, no, we do not allow clients to sit through RAW
    footage selection. This is the reason we have one round of edit changes.
    In case the couple is not happy with some footage he/she can
    communicate this after the first screening of their film and the changes
    will be done.

 10) How many total Images should we expect and how are
     the images selected and delivered?
    Ideally, there is no limit to the number of images shot. But as far as the
    delivery is concerned, we understand that in this age of information
    overload, clients prefer quality over quantity. After the event, our image
    editors go through each and every image and eliminate the duplicate /
    out-of-focus shots. Then they process every selected image and once
    all the images are processed, they are systematically segregated and
    uploaded online into event-wise folders. This online zenfolio link is
    shared with you within 30-35 days. We also post this link on the
    common WhatsApp group so that all friends and family can see and
    cherish the images instantly. Apart from the online upload, all these
    images are also stored in your main thunderbolt drive which is delivered
    to you once all the images / films are ready within 90-100 days.

 11) What is the estimated time of delivery of all deliverables?
     What do you need from us after the wedding for
     the completion of the project?
    As per the contract we deliver everything within 35 to 95 days after the
    wedding. This means the simpler things like images are delivered within
    35-45 days after the wedding and the full films could take about 90-95
    days depending on the season work load. The highlight film and trailer
    could take upto 80-90 days for the delivery. The couple is required to
    send us two things for the completion of the Highlight film in time - First
    is the music selection of Allocated
        Category                 the film (various
                                           Budget sound tracks you Used
                                                            Budget   want for
    various sections of the film) and second are the credits (names of the
    crucial family members) for the opening and closing sections of the film.
    A delay in sending these will exponentially delay the delivery schedule
    of the highlight film. As a thumb-rule, we expect these two things from
    the couple within thirty days after the wedding.
