Critique Demonstration - Missing Element Experiment

This demonstration illustrates how oral narration and visual elements must co-exist and support each other within a single scene in order to be dynamically effective and appealing to the audience.

The medium is not being effectively leveraged when a scene is presented without codependent narration and visuals that must interact together in order to completely communicate a message. If the sound is muted, and the audience can comprehend the action based on the visuals alone, the scene is not going to be very impactful or dynamic. I often use this approach when analyzing a scene and determining is effectiveness.

This clip presents three scenes that have each been broken down so only the narration is presented in audio form only without any images. Then the narration is transcribed into text before revealing the actual scene in its entirety.
