The story worth telling
Breakfast, an unfinished game and someone making tea can belong in the same film. The connection is the day you spent together. Pick a small recurring detail and let it link the clips.
Three things to capture
- The beginning of the morning
- An activity everyone remembers
- The room after the day winds down
Let the camera run a little before and after each action. Those extra seconds give you room to find a better cut.
Give the edit a shape
Notice the day starting
Follow a small shared activity
End before the moment feels over-explained
Before you share it
Remove anything family members consider private or unflattering. The film can stay within the family.
