Other film sources

You may be thinking, “I know how to find videos. They are all over the internet!” That is absolutely true. However, not all videos are created equal. Use your source evaluation skills and apply them to the video.

Who created the content? Are they an expert in their field, or just a random person interested in the topic? Are they associated with a college or university? Do they have other experts speaking in the video? What are their credentials?
What sources did the creator use? Do they credit their sources throughout the video and/or list them at the end? What kinds of sources are they? Did they use scholarly sources?
Who is paying for the video? Is the video trying to sell you something? Who are the sponsors?
Where is the video hosted? Is it on a site that is trying to sell you something?
If it is a documentary, look it up on IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, or other review site. What are the reviewers saying?
Evaluate any statistics or other data by using an external source, such as a library database or government statistics.
What is the purpose of the video? Are they trying to sway you toward a particular side? Many documentaries are created to look like news sites but function as propaganda.
