Today we’re gonna discuss what makes a line quotable and even replay worthy.
Making Lines Quotable and Note-Worthy
This can be approached from a consumer and creator perspective. Let’s say you have a favorite bar in a song or scene in a movie. Solidifying them can happen several ways. A specific can be social media platforms that reward captions. Consider trying compilations too! Take a look at the replay feature on your favorite media device, and if you can picture pressing replay on the moment in question, there’s value within it without a doubt. Even following awards shows that honor things with dialogue worth remembering is an option.
Mirroring successful captions on social sites
Captions are amazing tell tale signs of what’s valued on the platforms they’re displayed on. I can personally confirm how much of a deal this was for my peers when I would have to see them everyday and social media played a role in our experience outside of school. The amount of focus that would be placed on having a clever caption was astounding! It would get tricky when there would be so many people that didn’t want to copy the same lines shared under the pictures they take.
Compilations were only made for the best
Compilations for inspiration are another method that could be utilized. If you’re trying to make one of your own, take notes on what earns high view amounts and exercise a little empathy in challenging yourself to figure out what made the person who created it choose the parts that made the cut.
Getting reflective on the replay button
It might sound funny, but think about what pressing the replay button really means. Specifically it would apply to music, so humor me. When you consciously select replay on whether it’s a single or album (even playlist), there’s something there. You’re enjoying something that you’re hearing. It’s a bit of a reach when we assume that it’s lyrics because it could be a melody that you’re appreciating, but this is inspired from my writing raps and storytelling series anyway, so it’s safe to assume in this case. Let’s put a spin on it though and assume you listen to smooth jazz or something without lyrics. That moment can be memorable and make the cut with a Reel or YouTube Short, so since they ideally loop in a way that has value every time it’s played again, maybe you have an ear for the section of a lyric less song and recognize the rift being popular. That small section that can be looped is now proving to hold true value!
