How to add context to your YouTube videos for maximum impact
Many people argue that for activists YouTube is actually the most powerful social network. YouTube allows activists and citizen journalists in countries without free media to capture events happening on the ground and share them with the rest of the world. By recording (or streaming) human rights abuses, violence against peacful protestors, or even non violent demonstrations activists can harness the power of video to gain support for their causes and movements.
While much of the actual video that is streamed and captured is powerful- what happens after its uploaded often impedes this content from reaching its full potential. If titles aren't clear, location/time/date are missing or there is no description the viewer is more likely to doubt the authenticity of the video and/or not know what to make of it.
This guide will show you how to title, tag, and write a description for your video so that you can use it to further your cause. (click here to continue reading the full guide).
