This content should feel funny and sweet. The kids’ answers should make you chuckle and show the joyful naivety of childhood, but also reinforce that if anyone is anxious about moving house, it’ll probably be the parents, not the kids.

​

We’d like you to share around 60 seconds worth of clips of your 4-7 year old answering the questions provided below about moving house. We want to hear their genuine answers, rather than rehearsed lines. Please do not include any filters or text overlays in your submitted content, as clips will be edited into a wider video.

​

-- VISUAL GUIDELINES

​

Please just have your child on camera, and ask the questions from behind the camera, but ensure that your voice does not overlap with your child’s. 

​

Please follow the following guidelines while filming your child. It’s important all footage follows these guidelines for consistency in the final brand content. The child should be:

-Sat in a well-lit space (ideally with natural daylight)

-With the camera placed at your child’s eye level and the child sat about 2 ft back from the camera

-The shot should include the child’s shoulders/torso and head (for this brief footage should be shot in 9:16 format - i.e. vertical)

-The child should be looking at the camera when they are giving their answers.

​

Ideally, we would like the child to be sat in their bedroom or in a playroom setting, or any other space that clearly looks like a space in the home your child spends time in. Please ensure that your child is not wearing a school uniform, or that there is anything in the background that would specifically identify your child e.g certificates with full name etc.

​

When asking your child the questions, please encourage them to keep their answers short and punchy, as they will be cut into soundbites to be edited into a final video. Please also encourage them where possible to include the question in their answers e.g “My favourite place in my new house is the garden” rather than “the garden”
