How do you select appropriate photos and videos to include in a memorial video?

Selecting appropriate photos and videos to include in a memorial video can be a challenging task, but it can also be very cathartic for the family as they discuss the memories the photos evoke.

Here are some tips:

  • • For a comprehensive tribute, select a variety of photos and videos that span different periods of the person’s life. Include pictures of family ancestors, childhood photos, family portraits, candid shots, and special moments captured on camera.
  • • Choose photos and videos that are high-quality and well-lit. Avoid using images that are blurry or grainy, as they may be distracting or difficult to view.
  • • Choose photos and videos that tell a story about the person’s life as well as events that were important to the person.
  • • Choose some photos and videos that show the person with friends, family, and loved ones. This can help to illustrate the person’s relationships and connections with others.
  • • Get input from family and friends as they may have special memories and images that are particularly meaningful to them, and that can add depth and richness to the video.
  • • Remember, the goal of a memorial video is to create a meaningful tribute to the person’s life and legacy. Choose photos and videos that capture the essence of the person, and that honor their memory in a way that feels authentic and appropriate.
