Overstand. TURN the MUSIC OFF in your VIDEOS! PLEASE! Video Making Tip 1. #Rantrage!
I am down right fed up! I see it on Television all of the time. And now this annoying, amateurish mistake is ruining potentially thousands of YouTube videos!
And it's background music! And it works something like this!
You see the title, and thumbnail or (preview picture) for a video. The title intrigues you as well as the thumbnail! You say to yourself, "now that looks like my type of video, let me click on it".
The video could be important information about something that the criminals in Washington DC. are doing. A tutorial of some sort, a documentary, a lecture, a talk show, or even a movie or Television scene for example. All instances were acute listening is pertinent!
You click on the video and your listening experience ins completely decimated, by of all things, music! Music is like cheddar! It makes most things better. But I don't want cheese chunks floating in my cereal!
Now, I Overstand that from a video producers standpoint, that in some instances music can be used to enhance the over all quality of a video. The right song can make a production sound more professional. And can be used as a finishing touch. Or the icing on the cake. I get that! I totally get it! But that's when it's being used during times of what would be awkward silence, or at least times where no ones speaking!
The absolute worst excuse that I ever saw for a video with offensively loud back ground music, drowning out a famous lecturer was, "I made this video for me!"
Their are no words in the world, that can even begin to describe the anger, and frustration that I experienced while reading such a stupid reply from the videos producer! I thumbed up the person who question the video maker about the loud background music. Then I read that idiotic reply from the video maker and damn their ax clicked my screen to oblivion!
You took your precious time to piece together a video, title it, edit it, uploaded it. The whole shebang! And let's get this straight, you didn't make it for anyone but you. Yet you publicly displayed it!
I wonder what would happen if someone made a billboard displaying something offensive. Let's just say for example a Chinese man, with a hot wok with oil in it in the background, on a stove. In a kitchen, cutting off the head of kitten! Not a cat, but a kitten.
Let's say someone put this disgusting and controversial billboard on a highway. When PETA, the police, the news channels and other press, etc. Come looking for answers. Imagine the person who made it saying. Well, "I know that it was displayed for hundreds of thousands of people to see in traffic. However, I made it for me!"
What an asinine excuse! What type of Bee brained pathological liar could ever come up with such utter nonsense? "I put it in the view of hundreds of thousands of people, possibly millions." But it was done for me? Huh?
Please take my advice! As much as you'd love to think that the music enhances the overall production in your videos. In most cases, it does not! It makes your words harder to hear, your points harder to comprehend. It's distracting, and if the music is bad, then make like an Italian with Alzheimer and "faggot about it!"
The absolute worst offenders are you scatter brains that are more into the music than you are into what you are saying. Interrupting yourself to sing song lyrics and wasting viewers time so that you can have Karaoke night on your video! COME ONE! GET TO THE POINT ALREADY!
And in addition to stopping to sing the lyrics. The people who skip the instrumental and play the track with the words need to realize this.
Not only are my ears competing for whatever is going on in my environment. Not only do we have to tune out the noises in our houses, we have to tune out the music as well as the lyrics in order to hear what you, or whatever audio you are displaying to be heard correctly!
Talk about multi-tasking! So, please cut the music off! Or at least, make it so low that I can understand every single world. And use instrumentals only please! No words! Your words should be what stands out!
