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

  1. The beginning of the morning
  2. An activity everyone remembers
  3. 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

01

Notice the day starting

02

Follow a small shared activity

03

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.
