When preparing your submission, it is important to tag and categorize your assets correctly.
Today, we'll be explaining how and when to use the subcategory 'Background.'
The background-clip usually appears behind the main subject or objects. It’s not intended to be the video's main focus and is often used as a secondary clip under the main subject.
Backgrounds can have copy space, bokeh, full-frame patterns (variety of themes), full-frame colorful textures, streaming backgrounds, or a podium to support any text or graphics to place over the clip. However, not every clip with copy space will be considered a background.
Examples of Backgrounds:
Full frame pattern

Streaming background - not intended for stand-alone

Questionable clips that are Backgrounds

Backgrounds will not be:
Clips with pattern shapes that are not full-frame
VJ loops
Stand-alone clips (i.e. landscapes).
Clips with a clear subject and themes that could fit better in a different subcategory.
Here are some questionable clips that may seem like they fit the background's definition, but they don’t. These clips are more suitable for different subcategories.
