  • Methods for Determining Credibility

Basic methods on determining the credibility of Motion

Media:
Validity of information – Is it peer reviewed and verifiable
Source - Primary or secondary source?
Does the video capture the actual event or does it simply
present information learned about an event ?
• Relationship of the author to the event – Does he have first
hand knowledge •

Technical methods of detecting tampering/fake video:


1. Smoothness of video – This is often detected when
movements are not smooth; when action seems to jump
from one position to another, as if some action was
missing
2. Lighting coverage matches - One way to detect lighting
matches is to look at the shadows; the source of light
determines the size and direction of the shadow
3. Scale and size consistent- scale refers to how the size of
the objects in reference to one another are near the real
thing. If the picture is reduced or enlarged by a certain
percent then all of the objects should be resized by that
percent. Objects that are far away are usually smaller than
objects that are nearer.
