Video stories will be held in our archive and may be used for future documentary broadcast or shown at exhibitions.
A few tips:
If you are making a video for us, please put your camera on a tripod or solid surface. Get the person telling the story to sit comfortably. Possition the camera at 45 degrees to them, and ask them not to look at the camera, it is best if someone sits to one side of the camera so that they can talk to them, and ignore the camera. Please make sure that there are no distracting items behind the person's head such as pictures on the wall or lamps. If they want to show any items to the camera have them hold them up to the camera rather than zooming in on the object. If you are not sure about anything please ask.
Please Click here to access a form to print out and fill in. Please send it along with your tape or disc
