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

Once complete

Decide on editing

Your production

For the greatest impact
