Caption and framing rules

Warnings for film critics on YouTube long-form

Do not skip phone review. Desktop crops lie. Captions that look fine on a monitor can cover faces on Letterbox.
Do not change niche focus every day. Give Dallas audiences a stable promise for at least one week before pivoting.
