VIDEO –SUMMARY / REVIEW

What is a video review? It’s a report of a video, which outlines the main points, including
the problem, solution or any other things discussed. However, it must not be containing
all the details presented in the movie, but only the most essential ones. It is used by
professors and teachers to improve the thinking skills of their students. You could try a
reliable video summarizer, however, it is better to read the following tips and work on the
outline yourself.

What to Know About Video Summary – Let Us Tell You


The video summary is a brief presentation of the content. It discusses the points
presented in a written form. It does not have to be too long. In fact, it may be written in
five or more sentences. The summarizing videos is not a subjective writing piece, so
writers should not inject their personal opinion. They must stick to the point and with the
topic being discussed in the video.

In general, a video abstract should:

 Start with the title and author


 Answer the questions who, what, when, where, why and how
 Remain objective
 Use reporting verbs
 Concise and short

Breviary Samples
As Washington.edu suggests, in his paper “Global Implications of Patent Law Variation,”
Koji Suzuki (1991) states, that lack of consistency in the world’s patent laws is a serious
problem. In most of the world, patent ownership is given to the inventor that is first to file
for a patent. However, the United States maintains a first-to-invent policy. In view of this,
patent ownership can change depending on the country. Multiple patent ownership can
result in economic problems; however, most striking is the international tension it
causes. The fact that the United States does not recognize patent ownership in other
countries, in violation of the Paris Convention on Industrial Properties, has prompted the
World Intellectual Properties Organization (WIPO) to push the United States to review its
existing patent law principles.

In the article “Why Doesn’t GM Sell Crack?” Michael Moore argues that companies need
to be regulated so that they do not take actions that hurt the community or environment.
He explains that many people believe that companies should have the right to do
whatever will make the most money. However, he disagrees with this philosophy. He
gives the example of selling crack, which would be very profitable for companies but bad
for the consumers and the community. This example shown by Las Positas
College illustrates how the government does make some laws to restrict companies and
protect society. Moore points out that most Americans agree that a company should not
be able to sell crack just to make a profit. Therefore, he argues, we might extend this
reasoning to other harmful actions, such as polluting the environment or treating workers
unfairly. Moore believes that companies should be restricted from committing actions
that hurt society.
Difficulties Which May Arise Within the Process
Some people couldn’t the report because they don’t comprehend its content, they may
use the assistance of a service. They don’t spend enough time focusing on the message
of the video and use a tool instead, so they couldn’t come up with an effective, succinct
outlining. Many of them also try to recall blow-by-blow events in the movie. What they
don’t know is that they don’t have to write everything which took place there, but they
only need to sum up the main points presented. So, how to summarize a video? Let’s
read below!

Tips to Help with Creating an Incredible Conclusion

 Watch the video and focus on watching. If you didn’t understand it the first
time, watch it again. You may also ask help from the teacher or professor if you don’t
understand certain areas presented in the video.
 Get down to the answers to the questions – what, where, when, why and how.
These would be the bare bones to write a quick rundown. This is the main paragraph of it
which would give readers a quick overview of what the video is about. Thus, be able to get
the important details to answer these questions.
 Write down notes while watching. Write down the main points presented in the
video. You may also write keywords or clue words, which will remind you about the
essentials presented in the video.
 Organize the material. Start with the video report writing using a clear
identification of the work. Identify background information, including main point, title and
author. Present the summary videos n a neutral fashion.
 Write in a concise manner. The video summaries must be short and to the
point. Conclude the overview with the main point discussed.
 Review your work. Check for information accuracy. Be ready to revise when
needed.
 Find your mistakes. Look for spelling, punctuation and grammar mistakes.
 Be punctual. Submit before the deadline.

Techniques to Implement

Using a video and asking students to write an overview of it, you could assist them to
develop their thinking skills. One of the main techniques in summarizing video for
students is to choose only the essential points, not all the information presented in the
video. Another technique in writing the video synopsis is to fit selected information well
together so that the synopsis would flow logically.
Doing so, students would also be able to connect the ideas properly. Students,
therefore, must be able to pick only the essential points in the video presentation or
report so that they do writing a summary video in a connected, logical and general way.
