Not sure if this is the right thread to stick this post. So I've been asked to do an engagement video for a young couple that wants a fun, artsy hollywood like engagement video at 2 different places: at their farm, and by railroad tracks. Im used to doing wedding shoots with photo and video and not so much a "cinematic" type movie. My question is for those who do this sort of work, is how you prepare for stuff like this? Im interested more in how you get your ideas for creative shots and how you go about executing these? Do you storyboard? Wing it? Im familiar with hollywood camera moves and the term "coverage" which means repeating the same scene multiple times but different angles. Can anyone kind of give me an idea or play by play of a normal engagement shoot?
