REAL STORIES — The Human Story Finder

You have a message. But do you have a story?

A strong filmed interview starts before the camera is switched on. It starts by identifying the person, experience, moments and change that can turn a topic into a story.

The Human Story Finder is a free 8-question worksheet for communications teams planning interviews, testimonials, case studies and human-centred video stories.

It helps you explore:

• Who has actually experienced the issue?

• What were they trying to achieve?

• What stood in their way?

• What specific moments can they describe?

• What happened and what changed?

• What can you show rather than simply explain?

• Why should the audience care?

The toolkit also includes a simple Topic vs. Story diagnostic and a ready-to-use AI prompt to help develop your interview approach without inventing, scripting or putting words in the interviewee’s mouth.
