House of Leaves

Day 11 – Genre – do you prefer making certain genres of vid? What kind do you tend to vid the most?

Dark is the first thing that comes to mind, although that isn't really a genre on its own. Character study seems like such vast genre, because the song relentlessly gives you the narrative PoV structure even without lyrics. So logically I feel like all of my vids fall into this first, with character driven romance vids second. I mean even my AUs/Constructed Realities are at their core character driven studies and often romances. Yes, even the Impala or Psychopaths had a crush.

Action plays a role in my vids, because movement makes everything more interesting and sometimes it just looks cool. I have a harder time vidding comedy, I don't think I'm very good at it. The things that make me laugh out loud are generally verbal - cutting wit and black humor, so that doesn't translate well into vids for me. I'm not much in physical comedy, besides expressions. So yeah, my comedy vids depend on the juxtaposes between lyric and action and I often fail at it. The genre I vidded even less is episodic, I made one for 'Waiting in the Wings', that's it.
