Capturing the Vibrancy of Manchester

Manchester has a rich culture with the cotton mills, innovation and a unique society which makes it perfect for photographers and videographers. The red brick industrial style of the city and busy streets offer a special view through the lens that you can’t see anywhere else.

What is Videography?

Videography essentially involves using electronic equipment to capture moving images, such as digital cameras, videotapes, and streaming media. Another major part of the process is editing and post-production, which brings everything together as the final stage.

Whether it’s a high-production music video or a promotional video for a business, there are different techniques to film with, such as guerrilla style or Dutch angles, for example. (Source)
