A practical method
- Summarize the film accurately in a short opening.
- Label source links by the claim or topic they support.
- Include required asset credits and a relevant destination link.
An example brief to adapt
Draft a description for my approved sourced explainer. Use only the links and credits I provide. Group the sources by the questions they support and identify the visuals as generated illustrations where appropriate. Leave missing information as an editorial task rather than inventing it.
Review before moving on
- Are links correct and useful?
- Do citations support the film?
- Is the description consistent with the narration?
Record a concrete observation beside each check: a line in the treatment, a source passage or a timestamp in the downloaded film. If you cannot inspect an item yet, leave it open. A request in a brief is an intention; the result is what must be reviewed.

What to avoid
A long block of unrelated links does not make a video well sourced. Prefer a small, traceable evidence list over an impressive-looking bibliography.
