Bastion of Blood - 49/60 - A
Ends of Deceit - 38/60 - B/C
Bastion of Blood appeared to be effective, because it clearly conveyed the roles of characters throughout its diverse use of shots. Some of the shots used include: aerial, wide and close-ups. Throughout the wide range of shots, (as well as non-diegetic sound (music) - which was used to build up tension for the audience when there was parallel action), the characters were clearly portrayed in a way that was clear for the audience urged to know what happens next. This was enhanced by use of professional props as well as location. For the audience, this appeared to emphasize realism which increases the tension and gives meaning for the audience.
Ends of Deceit is effective and was a different video to the first as it involved a dog as the main subject rather than a person. This caught my attention and was different because it pushes narrative enigma's upon the audience as to who or what is the cause of the death.
The effectiveness of the end-product is brought upon the theme - innocence and evil. This is a main strength of the video which makes the audience able to feel sympathy as well as become curious to find out more. The high ambient sound used at the end enhances the emotion felt by both the audience and, in the video, the dog. This is effective for the audience as they feel sympathy immediately for the dog which reinforces the theme of innocence (the dog) and evil (the culprit or cause).
