Notes

Think about something you have learned by viewing a video. It may be a part of history, the steps to completing a task, or maybe you got a close view of a city or town that you may not have otherwise been able to see. Think about the possible intention of the filmmaker and how the video was created. Tell what medium was used to deliver the video and explain how the video may have been recorded, such as a camcorder, and why you drew those conclusions. Then, give an explanation of your impression of the filmmaker’s goal in creating the video. It may have been filmed for educational purposes, for advertising, or even just for fun. Also include any pertinent details about the class of video, like whether it was a documentary or an instructional video and any special techniques that may have been used.
On the night before my AP World History exam, I spent the entire evening watching all of John Green's "Crash Course: World History" videos.
