How did you come up with the titles?

I gave categories to the GIFs such as mood, weird, and movie. The “mood” is for GIFs that don’t have any subtitles in it, yet clearly manifest a reaction, emotion, or an activity. The category “weird” is for the GIF that is very strange and unusual. The category “movie” is for the GIFs that were originated from a movie and have subtitles.

Afterward, I used an underscore to add more important and specific details about the GIF. I divided the three main categories into more specific ones. I included those details that can be easily remembered visually by a person.

How did you come up with the descriptions?

I described the details in the GIF thoroughly in the description part. I have also indicated where the snippets came from (a film or a music video). I also put the names of the recognizable people and described what they are doing in the snippet.

How did you come up with the subjects?

In this part, I included the words and phrases that one can easily remember when they like to search for a specific GIF. I put some of the important words from the descriptions (movie, characters, names, and song titles), as well as the synonyms, and random words that are related to the picture.
