Storyteller Video Selection Criteria / What we look for:
1) the ability to judge optimal ambience/setting/lighting to produce a beautiful video. It doesn’t need to be fancy at all, interviewing a senior in her favourite rocking chair is a wonderful idea; but we want to see that you get the angles, perspective and lighting correct.
2) the ability to conduct and facilitate the interview with sincerity, kindness & empathy.
3) the ability to get people to open up and tell their stories from a place of authenticity. Strangers just don’t open up to anyone! We all very reasonably have our guard up. It’s important that you know how to engage with people in a way that enables them to let their guard down.
