The video uses an ellipse to explain principal components because it provides an intuitive geometric model for the data cloud. The main axes of the ellipse are identified as the directions PCA wants to find, which are called principal components.
Conditions: The data are approximated by an ellipse.; The ellipse is described verbally as 'basically a two-dimensional Gaussian.'

The notation D=2 -> D' = 1 means reducing a two-dimensional dataset to one dimension. It frames PCA as a method for compressing a two-dimensional description of data into a one-dimensional summary while keeping the most important directions of variation.
Conditions: The displayed example uses a two-dimensional dataset.; The target reduced dimension shown is one.

In this video, PCA stands for Principal Component Analysis. It is introduced as the specific dimensionality-reduction method used as the example in this clip.
Conditions: Used as the naming definition for the method discussed in this segment.
