Compare a short clip with the longer source.



YOUR WORKING TEMPLATE

What the short version shows:

What comes immediately before:

What comes immediately after:

What the caption claims:

What changes when context returns:



A FILLED EXAMPLE

Short version: “We may need to cancel.” Before it: a question about a continued outage. After it: an organizer says the power check is pending. The clip is conditional.



BEFORE YOU SHARE

Does restored context actually change the claim, or are you assuming any longer clip must be better?



MAKE IT YOURS

Use the notes space below, copy the prompts into your own document, or download the worksheet. A voice note or paper version works too.
