Lower Thirds

Interview subjects in videos should be introduced using lower-third graphics. The lower-third graphics should appear no later than two seconds after the subject appears in the video. 

Lower thirds can have a maximum of three lines. Titles and names appear in the first line, this is followed by designations in the second line and organisation names in the third.

For students, place their year of study in the second line followed by their programme descriptor in the third line.  The year of study should be reflected as "Year 1", "Year 2", "Year 3" or "Year 4". 

The placement of lower-third graphics should be 195px from the edge of the video.
