What video formats work for Haenyeo stories?

Immersive handheld footage, direct voiceovers, personal journeys and concise travel guides are effective formats. Raw emotional advice from a Haenyeo mother, silent aesthetic footage with a “foreigners are surprised” hook, and performance information for Seongsan Ilchulbong show different ways to make the tradition accessible.
