I am interested in exploring how meme video editing. “Meme video editing” is a relatively new genre of internet content in which clips are compiled or manipulated usually for comedic purposes. As someone who participates as both a viewer and creator, I am interested to really analyze it. I still am trying to figure out what I want to look specifically into, but the two ideas I have are: how different formats of meme video editing are similar in their diversion or fulfillment in the audience’s expectations or how different meme video editing formats transcend fandom.
For the first idea, I would take one internet series or set of videos and manipulate them in the formats that I describe and compare in the paper. An example of what this may look like would be: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAb1EbtQ8RuTa9TaWXO1rYhs_YjLpCtPZ
For the second idea, I would focus on one format and edit in the format in a few select fandoms. An example may look like this: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAb1EbtQ8RuQUq9G3wY9l5Ql5KRjvdj08
