Despite my earlier advice, here's how not to do it IMO.
He interrupts what's going on to snark and agree/disagree without expanding upon it (sort of like the Daily Show, but without twisting it to push an agenda, or relying on a specific timing to make it harder to form your own thoughts. More on that in the next post). He brings nothing to the table. His other work is fine- he either retorts (with evidence) or just lets the footage play out.
IMO, films should come in one of several formats:
- Clip: A clip taken that proves someone of wrong-doing or ill-character. No introduction, no VA over the top. Just the context and a link in the description to the source.
- Clip + Retort/Meme: Same as above, only it finishes with presenting evidence that proves a person's statement wrong/right. Or, even just a joke mocking something in the clip. Never put something before the clip- even as a set up to a joke. Evidence in context is priority 1, and should be the first thing the viewer sees while they have full attention.
- Theory & Evidence Declaration (TED): Using appropriate footage, a VA or subtitles present the case for a fact. Evidence is sourced both in the video, and in the description.
