Making a family album with a video camera presents certain challenges, but with planning the results can be most stunning.
Today, most family albums
Are made by video
And these captivating images
Are presented
In a variety of ways
- – -
One of these
Is to make a video
Of family members
As if in a reality show
Doing chores
Around the home
- – -
Another
And most interestingly
Is to approach your video
From the point of view
Of your family dachshund
- – -
Yet another could be
A walking tour
Of your house
This will be
Especially impressive
If you live in
A historic home
- – -
Some helpful considerations
In undertaking
Such a project are -
Getting overall scenes
Of your home to establish
Its location
- – -
Have a sketch of the rooms
With the entrances
Through which you
Have to pass
In order to shoot scenes
With your camera
- – -
Note the positions
Of the pictures on walls
In China cabinets, sculpture
Chandeliers
And other decorations
- – -
Pay attention to the furniture
Its type, model
And how to accentuate them
Check on the locations of the lamps
And other overhead lights
- – -
Once these essentials
Are checked
Begin moving
Gradually
Throughout the home
From the living room
Dining room, bedrooms, kitchen
Study and den
Depending on the flow
Chart of the house
- – -
It may be best
To select a particular family
That’s familiar with the home
To follow
In order to tie together
