How it works
A video can be edited: cut, sped up or changed.
A video can be staged: set up on purpose.
It can be the best of many tries, with the misses cut out.
One clip cannot prove it, so ask: can this really happen? And: what does it want from me?
Worked examples
The roof shot
- A man threw a ball into a tiny tub on his very first go.
- Tariq's own tries all missed, and Grandpa saw a piece was missing.
- The video was cut: maybe the man threw fifty times and kept the best one.
- One clip cannot show how it was made.
Waffles flies
- Tariq put Waffles in a box with paper wings, a sky picture and a fan.
- On the screen, Waffles flew through the clouds.
- A video can show something that never happened.
Too good to be true
- A video said, I got rich in one day! Tap the link.
- Another said, Free game coins for everyone! with a ticking timer.
- Free for everyone, right now, wants a tap and a login. Show a grown-up and do not tap.
