Help

eg Citizen Kane..sub expo for Rosebud, When Harry met Sally she shouts ‘expo expo expo’ in cafe scene, in Star Trek, Spock could say ‘It’s expo Jim, but not as we know it’, ET would say ‘ET phone expo’.
Subtitles are fine.
Films with no dialogue can use the word ‘expo’ replacing background text, eg in street signs or posters.
If your engine / editor makes it difficult to add logo just use text
Yes, do use your own language, we reach more people that way!
Remember, if you use music, to choose tracks which youtube won’t object to. See Jamendo for some great creative commons music, or have fun making your own.
Use the guidelines as inspiration only , if you get stuck just go with the flow and see what happens!
