Cinematic Proposal Video Coaching & Edit

I am planning a surprise proposal and want the final video to feel polished, emotional, and truly cinematic. I’ll be the one behind the camera on the day, so before we even capture a frame I need you to walk me through best-practice camera settings, lens choices, shot angles, as well as practical tips on lighting and sound. Clear, step-by-step coaching—ideally over a call with visual references—will help me shoot clean, well-exposed footage you can later transform.

After the event I will send you all raw clips. Your job is to craft a smooth, cinematic edit that highlights the story and emotion of the moment. Color grading, tasteful transitions, and sound design that complements the mood are essential. If you enjoy weaving narrative elements—little snippets of dialogue or reaction shots—into the timeline, that’s a big plus.

Deliverables:
• Pre-shoot coaching session (camera settings, angles, lighting, sound)
• Final 5-10 minute cinematic proposal film (graded, sound-mixed, ready to share)
• One shorter social-media teaser (optional but welcome)

Let me know your preferred workflow, the software you use (Premiere Pro, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve, etc.), and any similar romantic or event pieces you’ve edited. I’m excited to collaborate and make this proposal unforgettable on screen.
