The evidence laid out on a dark desk: the source set word for word on aged paper, a highlighter sweep and a red pen ring on the words that matter, the camera pushing in and holding, a red thread to the spot in a photo, and a stamp for the verdict. Made for fact checks, history from primary sources, case reviews and reading a document closely.
Use this styleGive the source text to examine (a few lines from a book, letter, report, court record or paper, quoted exactly, about 150 characters a page) and where it comes from; the words to mark and the conclusion; and any photos, screenshots or clips of the place or object, which become prints taped to the desk. Without photos the film uses the document page, a quote strip and a stamp.
The Declaration of Independence is dated July 4, 1776, the day Congress adopted it; most delegates signed the engrossed copy on August 2. The page is ringed and marked, then an almanac page for August 1776 puts the red circle on the 2nd.
