The Filming Process

Creating a family autobiography film is a journey that begins long before the cameras start rolling. It all starts with an in-depth consultation, during which we get to know your family’s history, values, and the stories you want to preserve. This initial step is crucial as it guides us in crafting a narrative that truly reflects the unique essence of your family.

Choosing Your Interview Questions

We provide you with a thoughtfully curated list of interview questions designed to delve into your family's unique history. You can select up to 15 questions that you find most relevant, or propose others that better capture your story. This selection process ensures that the interview highlights the most significant aspects of your family's history and values.

Selecting and Submitting Personal Assets

To enrich your family film, we encourage you to provide personal assets that relate to the topics you've chosen to discuss. These might include:

  • Photographs and Videos: Select images and videos that are directly relevant to the questions you've chosen. These can depict people, places, or events mentioned in your responses.

  • Memorabilia: Items like letters, artwork, heirlooms, or other significant objects can be shown during the interview. Choose items that have stories or significance connected to your chosen questions.

Submission Guidelines

You can submit these assets through a secure online link, a USB drive, or we can arrange to capture these items on the day of filming. Please ensure that the number of items is manageable; around 15-20 key pieces.

Additional Information

Filming Location: Photos of suggested locations where we could record your interview help us prepare for the best possible lighting setup. Large rooms like living rooms or lounge rooms are ideal.

Clothing for the Interview: We recommend wearing solid colours and avoiding very bright shades and complex patterns, as these do not film well.

Interview Process: Our goal is to make this experience enjoyable and stress-free. You'll have the opportunity to review and redo any part of your interview to ensure you are completely satisfied with every answer. Speaking from the heart always comes across best.

Editing: Our editing team focuses on crafting a polished and concise final product. We seamlessly remove any hesitations or verbal stumbles from the footage and incorporate relevant assets to enhance the storytelling, ensuring the narrative flows smoothly. The editing typically takes 2-3 weeks following the filming day, and the final film's length may vary, but we generally aim for a duration of 25 to 45 minutes. Our goal is to strike an optimal balance between documenting essential moments and maintaining an engaging, viewer-friendly format.

The Technology Used

At 'Your Legacy Films,' we pride ourselves on using the latest technology to ensure the highest quality production. Our cameras capture stunning high-definition footage, while our advanced audio equipment records every word with crystal-clear precision. We also employ state-of-the-art lighting techniques to enhance the visual appeal of each scene, ensuring that your family's legacy is portrayed in the best possible light.

In addition to filming, we use cutting-edge software for editing and post-production. This allows us to seamlessly integrate your photos, home videos, and other personal artefacts into the final film. Our advanced video editor adds a professional polish, creating a cinematic experience that will stand the test of time.
