I find the problem isn't necessarily the drama vids in and of themselves (although they do tend to be the audience's least favourite to watch), I think it's the "tl; dr" syndrome. It's like getting smacked with a wall of text---you know that for the next 20 minutes or so, things are going to be slowly paced, no action, etc. Drama/romance vids don't tend to break out of their respective editing moulds much so people get...bored.NightHawk wrote:That is actually pretty funny.Rider4Z wrote:rofl XDzanedomain wrote:We tried that but had problems, we mix them up to keep people from leaving during Romance/Drama category.Rider4Z wrote:whoa... i've never known a con to not play them by category o_O
Sad, but true. A lot of people don't like the sappy vids that are usually in Drama.
Think about the people that put a good amount of effort into the videos and then say they are boring. It's drama, it's supposed to create emotion.
I can say the same thing about action and comedy videos, but I wont.
No offense was meant. And obviously this is just my opinion based on my experience. I'm certainly not saying that people don't get bored during a block of action vids, because yes--*those* tend to look and sound all same-y too.
Perhaps what I meant to convey is that drama/romance vids tend to be longer than the average amv (again, in my experience) and that the songs tend to be quieter and slower. And that can make people antsy.
My drama vids arent quiet and slow... lol.
