How to Use the MyStories FOREVER Question Selectors
The heart of any memorable legacy video lies in the stories you choose to share. The MyStories FOREVER Question Selectors are designed to inspire and guide you through the process of uncovering those stories, making sure you capture the moments and messages most meaningful to you and your loved ones. Here’s how to make the most of these invaluable tools:
Step 1: Explore the Questions
- Broad Exploration:
Begin by browsing through the entire selection of questions. We’ve carefully curated these prompts to cover a wide range of themes, from childhood memories and life challenges to lessons learned and hopes for the future. - Note Your Reactions:
Pay attention to your initial reactions to each question. If a question sparks a memory, jot it down—even if it seems small or insignificant at first. These spontaneous reactions often lead to the most authentic and compelling stories.
Step 2: Select Your Questions
- Narrow Your Focus:
Choose questions that resonate with you personally. There’s no “right” number of questions to answer—focus on quality over quantity. Your selections should feel meaningful and evoke stories you’re eager to share. - Diversity of Topics:
Aim for a mix of light-hearted anecdotes and deeper reflections. This variety will enrich your legacy video, offering a fuller picture of your life and experiences.
Step 3: Organise Your Thoughts
- Outline Your Responses:
For each selected question, outline key points or stories you want to include. These notes will serve as a roadmap during your recording, ensuring you cover each topic as fully as you wish. - Consider Transitions:
Think about how your stories connect. Smooth transitions between questions can help your video flow more naturally, weaving your individual stories into a cohesive narrative.
Step 4: Practice and Refine
- Rehearse Out Loud:
Practice answering your chosen questions aloud. This can help refine your thoughts and how you wish to express them. It’s also a great way to become more comfortable speaking to the camera. - Adjust as Needed:
Don’t hesitate to revisit the Question Selector if you find certain stories lead you to new insights or if you discover new questions that prompt important memories not initially selected.
Step 5: Record with Confidence
- Ready to Share:
With your questions selected and your stories outlined, you’re ready to record. Approach your session with confidence, knowing you’ve prepared stories that truly matter. Remember, your authenticity is what makes your legacy video invaluable.
Final Thoughts
The MyStories FOREVER Question Selectors are more than just a list of questions; they’re a gateway to your past, present, and future. By guiding your reflection and storytelling, it helps ensure that the legacy or milestone video you leave behind is as rich and vibrant as the life you’ve lived.
