Home video of / Footage of/from
Here's a part of a script I'm writing on.
John and Jack sit on the couch talking.
Later. On TV: Home video of / Footage of/from a wedding party showing the groom, a younger John, singing to the bride, Liza.
John and Jack are watching it, both emotional.
Would you write 'home video of', 'footage of' or 'footage from' or something fourth here? Thanks.

anonymous Would you write 'home video of', 'footage of' or 'footage from' or something fourth here? If it was made by an amateur, it's "home video of". If it doesn't matter exactly what it is, you can use "footage of".

- "Footage from" is out because "from" would mean the footage is a part of a larger recording, and this is a party, not a recording.
- By the way, I think you want "wedding reception", not "wedding party".
