Telling a criminal case in 90 seconds without betraying it

Frequently asked questions

How are cases documented in @solennstories' true crime videos?

Before filming, Solenn goes back to the sources: court records, local press coverage and public documents. She distinguishes what is established, what is alleged and what is only rumour, and that distinction stays visible in the video, both spoken and on screen.

What structure to use for a short true crime video?

A short true crime video always follows the same structure: a factual hook, the context in two sentences, the timeline, then the current state of the proceedings. Nothing is invented to keep people watching, because reality is more than enough.

Why is true crime the most engaging format on the account?

True crime is the most engaging pillar on @solennstories' TikTok account, with a 4.17% engagement rate, well above the other formats. It isn't because the subject is spectacular, but because it demands genuine narrative rigour.

What should a respectful true crime video avoid?

Behind every case there are victims and families: a respectful true crime video avoids shocking images, an amused tone and drawing conclusions in place of the courts.
