I have loved all the Bring It On movies since I was young. I was a cheerleader once, believe it or not, so these movies really spoke to my peppy soul at the time. I remember them fondly, so even when the new ones came out, I would still watch them for solidarity towards the franchise. When I created this DS106 Reacts assignment, I was thinking of how I wanted a reaction gif in my final story but there was no assignment for it. So I made one! This gif was easy to make and I’ll show you how. Gimme a G! Gimme an I! Gimme a F! What does that spell? Gif! Yikes…sorry that’s the cheerleader in me coming back out.

First, I downloaded a scene from the newest Bring It On: Fight To The Finish movie, starring Christina Millian, from YouTube. I downloaded it using KeepVid and I dragged it on to my desktop.

I opened up iMovie and imported the clip. I extract the couple seconds I want and put it in the editing bay. Then I saved the file on to my desktop.

I go to Giphy and click the create tab. I insert my movie clip and added the subtitle feature. I used the “Meme” font and wrote #judgingyou because that was clearly the reaction I was going for.

After that, I got my gif. I’m happy with how it came out and I think it fits well with my storyline. It was a good way to introduce a gif into my story without having it detract too much or feel mismatched among the other media. I hope you felt the same!
