 Benefits And Pitfalls In The Use Of A Trade Show Video Full View Narrator

The Argent Mortgage trade show video is found on You Tube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF_awDWrtSk&feature=PlayList&p=067863233E55A8CD&playnext_from=PL&playnext=1&index=10 The video is an example of a trade show video that uses a full view narrator as a center piece of the video.

When the narrator appears after the start of this video, a viewer can easily conclude that a full view narrator can be a very effective integrating technique for trade show videos.

The narrator in this video is an attractive, well dressed young woman, who speaks well. As a character, she is easy to relate to, and a viewer will immediately decide that he will enjoy watching the video and listening to the her for the next 1-3 minutes.

However, after the strong intro, the video appears to run into some difficulties, and demonstrates some of the complexities and potential dangers in the use of a full view narrator. As the centerpiece of the video, the narrator becomes the symbol of the corporation. People’s impression of her will be there take home impression of the company. From this perspective the video should be designed so that it is easy for viewers to focus on her, her voice, and her words about the company.

On the other hand, there is a desire to present extra material about the company via captions, diagrams, images and motion graphics. This additional information can be conducive to listening to the narrator’s words or not.

In the initial scene, the narrator is telling the audience how many brokers there are “out there.” As she speaks the text, a display of multiple brokers arranged geometrically appears behind her. The display is secondary to her words and supportive of what she is saying.

As the video continues, the background, which started out as a secondarily supportive to the focus on her suddenly becomes an equal competitor. The video shifts its focus back and forth with greater and greater rapidity. It becomes more and more difficult to focus on what she is saying because of the rapid shifts.

So I would say this is a video with a strong narrator, but multiple examples of how not to integrate the background visuals with the narrator’s dialogue.
