I was thinking of other medias we hadn’t covered and have a video editing techniques. I haven’t covered and I came up the idea of making a GIF It was a really simple idea, but I felt like that would be quite effective. You can even go on WhatsApp and make a gift via that. All you have to do is going to the section and at the top you can select a GIF and crop the video you can send it on any chat and it just starts looping. we made this video of Chris when we got the stickers done. I decided to film a bit of it and that’s where I got the inspiration from.

A GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) is a type of image file format commonly used for short animations and looping sequences. Unlike standard image formats like JPEG or PNG, GIFs support multiple frames, allowing for the creation of brief, animated sequences.

Characteristics of GIFs:

Looping: GIFs can loop endlessly, replaying the animation in a continuous cycle.

Limited Colors: GIFs are limited to 256 colors, making them suitable for simple graphics, icons, and short animations.

Transparency: GIFs can support transparency, allowing for parts of the image to be see-through.

Lossless Compression: GIFs use a lossless compression algorithm, preserving image quality but resulting in larger file sizes compared to more modern video formats.

Usage of GIFs:

Online Communication: GIFs are widely used, especially in messaging apps and social media platforms, to express emotions, reactions, or convey short sentiments.

Social Media: GIFs are popular on social media platforms like Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, where users often share them as standalone posts or comments.

Memes and Humor: GIFs are frequently used in internet memes and humorous content due to their ability to capture and convey short, funny moments.

Tutorials and Demonstrations: GIFs are employed in tutorials, demonstrations, and presentations to illustrate a process or showcase a quick, repeating action.

Advertising: GIFs are used in digital advertising to create eye-catching and dynamic visuals without the need for complex video production.

I helped Issy with the logo. We decided on the middle.

I messed out with using subtitles on it to engage viewers. I watched TikTok, where they said to use subtitles with neon green or neon yellow colouring. Intrigue viewers make them stick around for longer. Tick-tock’s creative fund has made terms and conditions where you can only cash your earnings. If your videos are over one minute, they’ve done this to change how TikTok works. TikTok was originally social media with endless wipes and not much attention time. However, they want to change this and bring it more like YouTube. I made these subtitle videos. However, the files went corrupt. I used the website, and it took 3 1/2 hours to generate the subtitles. In the end, I didn’t think it was worth it.

Novak Djokovic: Refuse to Lose (2022)IMDbhttps://www.imdb.com › title

I sat down and watched Djokovic’s Refuse to Lose to get ideas for editing my videos. I wrote some stuff I observed. The story structure was good; the narrative unfolds chronologically, waving between childhood dreams and present-day journeys of the professional tennis circuit. It kept popping up with archive footage and showed evolution from a promising junior player to a contender on the global stage.

He emerges as a central figure, the interviews revealing his passion and sacrifices to pursue the greatness of tennis. They have a few intimate conversations between family, coach and players. I like how they flash back to childhood photos to really depict what the interview sent. Family members were talking about times they went to see the games and it popped up with a photo of him with his family when he was around 10. The cinematography shows dynamic shots following the trajectory of the ball, as a lot of cinematic sequences show his training regimes and the use of Arial shots. I thought they must spend a lot of money because they have to buy footage from Wimbledon and all the other tournaments he plays in, surely.

They add pacing rhythms and mirror the flow of a tennis match. Slow motion, sequences for crucial shots and rapid cuts show part of the fast-paced exchanges between him and his opponent. They use a lot of intense music and sound effects to the viewer in subtle tones to underscore moments of reflection in the elevated emotional stuff.

You can also hear sound effects that weren’t in actual videos. They added them to make it more realistic as you were there.

The documentary also shows a range of emotions, from happy tournament wins to really sad moments.
