    Playing this for my daughters to further inspire them. Seeing women who look like them create in excellence is encouraging in ways they may not understand until much later. Great work overall…your journey inspires me as well.🫡

    I love this! Any tips on storytelling for family documentaries? I want to interview some of the elders in my family and due to the nature of things they might not be able to come to a beautiful studio or anything like that so I have to do the best with what I have. I know you’ve done similar pieces with your own family and Kinloch so any tips or questions we should ask our elders to pull those stories out?

    • @BrittneyJanae
      @BrittneyJanae  27 дней назад

      @@LivingFreeDaily yes I did this very thing with my family after my grandmother passed away! I never bring lights because I have to fly to them. So I try my best to utilize the lights given. Do they have lamps I could use, what’s the best room in their house for lighting, what room do you like more! That’s how I approach those. And just match my settings to make sure everything looks good! I always bring mics anyway so I just use those and even if it’s one camera you can just do a two shot or get creative and maybe focus on them more with you in a dirty shot.
      Question wise is different for everyone! For me I asked how my grandmother got to STL. I asked them about why we settled in Humboldt. I asked about the cotton as we drive to Tennessee, how the family traditions came about. Most times elders talk the most so you will get a lot that you really gotta cull through and cut down!
