Recontextualize a story by adding additional information and attributing sources.

Step 1: Find a clip you would like to recontextualize. Write a script for the recontextualization. How can extra information change the story being told in the video? Plan out how you envision the remix.

Step 2: Open Popcorn Maker in your browser

Step 3: Click "Get Started" and choose the Context template

Step 4: Click the Edit Source button in the upper left-hand corner of the video and change the URL to the URL of the video you'll be commenting on.

Step 5: Change the Title of the template to a title that says something about your remix. Add biographical information to the subtitle box.

Step 6: Drag and drop a text event to the Timeline. Double click to change the text and choose a target that will always contain the text events. Do the same with footnotes and images.

Step 7: Continue adding events to the timeline, specifying which target holds each element.

Step 8: Add attribution for the images and/or the video by dragging and dropping attribution events to the Timeline.

Step 9: Share with the world. Share your video link widely.

Step 10: Iterate your project based on feedback you receive.
