soo. . .for those who know I work with a photographer, for those who dont, well now you do.

point is, wedding season isnt too far off and my boss once said "im interested in doing video sometime soon"
sooo lately i've been having this thing . . .I want to borrow a camera from my school ( professional ) and go to a wedding with him, have him charge what. . .2000 dlls more to get video (with his name only he can charge like 6k easily) but since its my first. . .say we split half n half.
I take video and do all the editing,burning, shalala. we present it all as a package for his customers.

I do a couple of weddings and I can buy my own camera, get experience, charge more.

thing is . . .

I've had all this toughts for a wedding video but . . .What do you actually put into a wedding video?

im thinking:

-a 15 minute summary of the whole thing (i wouldnt pay 2000 dlls for  15 minutes of a sumarized version of my wedding)
-a 3 hour long extremely boring video of "interesting" things that happened

say we go split, 60 minute video, perfect!
what to do on it?
should i leave it as is? should i cut off all the sound and put a soundtrack on the back?
anyone that has seen/had a wedding recorded care to give me some tips? some examples?

I have in mind the basics:

- Groom/bride getting read, music in the back? or should i put in the conversations?
- ceremony, cut off music "i pronounce you husband and wife" music goes back on
- arriving at party. . .then do I leave the party music or put my own soundtrack overlayed?

MammalSauce:
I have some suggestions, but I want at least a third of the profit. PM me and I'll hook you up with my PayPal.

Arveene:
Perhaps you should ask your family / friend's families if they have a wedding video that you could watch?

Mongoosecn:
  I think I have only seen one wedding video, but it had a interesting beginning that I have used on some home videos and some of my friends videos I have edited for them

   The first five minutes of this wedding video was Pictures of them growing up with simple things about what they were doing at the time captioned in the video and it was kind of a roadmap so to speak of how the couple ended up with each other.
