Recap:
Last semester I ended my design and research with the topic ‘’short form video’’ And with this topic I created thesis questions. Which could help me finding a clearer view of what I want to do in the 4th semester. Which are:
- Exploring the storytelling potential of short form video content on social media platforms.
- The impact of editing techniques in creating engaging narratives in short form videos.
- Analyzing the effectiveness of different video formats (e.g., vertical, square, horizontal) for short form video platforms.
- The aesthetics of composition and framing in short form videos: Techniques for capturing attention.
For the design and research course this semester I would like to dive deeper in these questions and see how much potential they have and how I can make them worthy as a thesis topic.
To make it already clearer by forehand what short form video is and other terms in these questions. I made a glossary for terms that I think will be very handy to know.
Glossary:

Short form video is to a type of video content that typically has a shorter duration compared to traditional long-form videos. These videos are often created for social media. Short form videos are made to capture viewers’ attention quickly and deliver content in engaging way, they usually are between a few seconds to a few minutes.
