clip info/keyword help

Just a couple of quick questions about the checkbox options on the clip info section. Would you check the people box if there is a hand in shot? For example I'm currently uploading some chess clips, I wouldn't really consider it to contain people but at the same time the hands are of a caucasian ethnicity.

Also what do you do when you have a clip that could be from multiple eras. Take the chess example again, chess as a game is obviously timeless (well about 500AD - present day), I know the chess pieces I used in my clip have been around since atleast the 1940's possibly longer, but they are just as relevant today. Would you check all the boxes, just a couple or leave them all blank?

I don't want to over keyword my clips but at the same time don't want to not check something that people might search for. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

My take is if it is just hands or feet, you are really not showing a person's "likeness" as if you were showing a whole body and face. I would just write "people playing chess" for example, but not check the box. I think by checking the box, or boxes under people one could assume that a release would be prevalent. (Unless editorial is checked) - I know, confusing. In regards to the era - I would just check the top three and leave it. Some things just aren't that specific or clear on what to check - these are the key wording issues that come from perspective and opinion. There is no right and no wrong. The bad thing to do is key word spam - or simply put in keywords that are irrelevant. That only annoys buyers as they quickly get turned off by wasted time while doing searches. Just use your best judgment. I have found that short and to the point descriptions, keywords and checks make for a good balance.
