What went into it

Keep bringing the story back to Delhi.

01

The job

The edit jumps from the presenter to political figures and footage of Delhi. Each change still had to carry the same argument.

02

Audience

YouTube viewers interested in Delhi politics and public policy.

03

Known limits

I don’t have the original brief or performance figures for this project.

Key decisions

Why it looks this way.

How the main subject and supporting images share the frame.

  1. 01

    A sense of place

    Landmarks and street scenes bring the discussion back to the city.

  2. 02

    Who’s being discussed

    The images change with the subject of the narration, so each person is easy to identify.

  3. 03

    A short headline

    The thumbnail pairs a familiar face with a direct statement and an arrow.
