Posted: Wed Jul 14, 2010 1:59 am Post subject: Help with Terms in Vidding.. |
|
|
This may have been posted before, But I can not find anything on it.
I have been seeing more contest's on YT and Collab groups etc. and there are always terms with NO explanation. I feel so dumb reading things sometime, cause I have No Idea what they are talking about...
Example- Type: Any. AU/Canon/Crossover or OC are all fine.
um..I have an idea for the most part what some things are, but does anyone know of a website or something that gives definitions on things?
I remember back in the day when I first started I had to message Nikki Monique and ask what AU was?? I know I can just google stuff, but it's hard to find out sometimes...
Figure this was worth a shot to see what is out there for people, like my self who is just starting to really get into vidding and I admit I fell intimidated at times.... _________________

well you know what AU means canon is something that is true to the show like Jate is canon but Kuliet is not. Crossover is when you pair a character from Lost with a character from say Private Practice like my Stay vid which I know you have seen. and OC stands for original character. You pick an actor to portray a fictional character you've made up or written a fanfic for. For example say you made up a character named Jen and used the actress Kate Winslet to portray her in your vid. A great example of an OC vid is Kat's
"Someone We'll Never Know" I hope that makes sense.

PS I love looking at your Kuliet banner _________________

Aw, don't ever feel bad asking about things like that, there definitely are a bunch of abbreviations in vidding out there and often there's no place to go to find out what they mean! I think we need a vidder's dictionary or something, lol! I had to ask what an OC was because I wasn't familiar with it at all when original characters started popping up in vidding.
Back when I first started reading fanfiction, I kept seeing stories marked as "gen" and thought it meant "generic." I'm so glad I didn't ever tell anybody I liked their "generic" fic, lol! (It stands for general and pretty much is used to indicate it's not a romance. )
Anyway, always feel free to ask about something that you're not sure of, we're always glad to help around here! |

I remember being confused myself when I first came here and I found a link (I think it was in a thread actually on LVI but it probably got lost pages back) to a vidding glossary.
Anyway, I googled it and found the same glossary here: http://harmony-vids.com/vidding-glossary/ . It's really useful and has most, if not all, the terms I can think of . Hope that helps! _________________
