Do you like vids that are quick to the action, move after move, bam bam bam?
Depends really on the content, for my gears of war executions vid coz they go by so quickly and there are so many i edited it to be bam bam bam and like other video's if its alot of quick stuff repeated from different angles and on different characters then thats how i like to see it. However for say an anime death scene or heavily storlined game, i like seeing some build up of character, various shots before getting into the ryona content.
Do you like vids that repeat the same move for a good minute, and move on to the next one?
Depends on the move, if its a particularly great one then hell yeah but i want to see it from different angles and possibly slowed down on the final repeat before moving on. An example would be i love the tyrant finishing move at the end of REmake and seeing it repeated from different angles and slowed is awesome. Seeing zombie grab and fall to the ground death over and over is abt dull.
Do you like vids that play out more like a story?
Yes. It can be difficult depending on the content but like the vid you used as an example, it is far preferable to a mish-mash of moves not connected with each other imo.
Do you like having a slow build up to the climax of the video?
As long as it is relevant and intriguing, i've seen too many vidz where the buildup has almost bored me outta continuing, there is a fine balance to the presentation of context i think and it is difficult to nail it, far too often vids are too heavily weighed with buildup that the payoff becomes an arduous journey to get to and by then the viewers attention has waned.
Music or no music?
Again depends on the presentation method and content i think, like a fast bam bam bam vid i think is great with well chosen music. A slow story with dialogue and sfx is often ruined with a soundtrack though as mute characters and crashes are missed. In cases where the audio capture is fucked, the audio should be replaced with music...even if it somewhat tarnishes the presentation its far more preferable over the audio being up, down and outta sync between cuts.
