A year in small chapters

The story worth telling

Choose themes that sound like your year: learning to ride, Sunday dinners, the new puppy. A chapter can contain several dates without needing a title for each one. Give the changes enough context to be noticed.

Three things to capture

1. An early moment from a chosen theme
2. A later moment showing change
3. A recent shared scene

Let the camera run a little before and after each action. Those extra seconds give you room to find a better cut.

Give the edit a shape

Before you share it

Check dates where they matter and save the original files separately from the edited version.
