lower third (L3) is a combination of text and graphical elements placed in the lower area of a video to give the audience more information. It doesn’t necessarily have to occupy the “lower third” of the screen, but that's where it gets its name.

We use L3s that meet Boise State branded L3rds Brand Standards to identify a speaker's the speaker’s name and title in videos that we create. Titles are kept as generic as possible to avoid having to update.

...

When To Use

L3rds L3s are only added to course videos that we film and edit to identify a speaker speakers shown for the first time in a course. It’s unnecessary to include on every video and avoids having to update more videos. General L3s should not be included in every video as this creates more work when updates are needed.

Typical use cases include:

  • Speaker Instructor Bio

  • Course Intro

  • Guest Lecture
