A Liberty Heritage documentary or family history video is a
wonderful way to honor your family members and create a lasting legacy for
future generations.
Here are 6 primary steps that you can do in preparation for your
Heritage documentary.
6 Steps To Making A Family Heritage Documentary
Step 1: Arrange Selected Family Members To Be Interviewed
It’s up to you how many family members you’d like to interview.
The important thing to remember is that elders are here and gone before you
know it, so don’t procrastinate. Even if you’re not quite ready for us to begin
your documentary, go ahead and sit down with your family members and record
their stories. The key thing to remember when interviewing a family member is
that you want them to be as comfortable as possible so that their true
personality comes out. So choose a location and time where they will be most
relaxed. Also, to help trigger their memories, have on hand old memorabilia and
photos. Or have them watch old home movies and record them describing what they
are seeing and remembering.
Step 2: Gather Photos, Memorabilia and Old Home Movies
Look for items that were discussed in the interviews that you
can overlay on top of what they’re describing.
Items might include old heirloom jewelry, a stack of love
letters, a wedding dress, artifacts from wars, children’s clothes, old money,
etc.
Step 3: Draft An Outline
You can make your documentary super simple and just play one
interview right after the next, overlaying images of what each person is
saying. Or you can get fancy and categorize the interviews into subject matters
and weave together the interviews based on stories or periods of time. There is
a whole art to the storytelling process, we encourage you to discuss the
outlining process with one of our Liberty Entertainment Group representatives.
Step 4: Upload or Mail Footage, Photos & Written Interviews
To Liberty Entertainment Group
Depending on how much footage you have, your existing flash
drive or email messaging may or may not be able to handle all that video data. Please
consult with one of our representatives to figure out the best way to get your
material to us, if necessary we will create a special cloud account to expidite
the process or we can simply have you mail it to us and we will scan/digitize
it on our end.
Step 5: Let Us Assemble Your Documentary
There is no right or wrong way to edit your documentary. But we
would like to review with you our basic video editing and layout process to
help you get the best possible result.
Step 6: Share Your Liberty Heritage Documentary At The Next
Family Gathering
What a great gift to share Heritage Video at your next family
reunion or holiday gathering. Imagine the laughter and tears when family
members watch their personal history play out before their eyes. We can either
upload the video to cloud storage, burn DVD’s or hook up your computer to a
projection screen at your event.
