While I think there is a need for categories for clarity, I find myself more interested in the vids that defy labeling.
I use different terminology for a few things. I like calling an AU vid an unrealized reality. The concept comes from the Farscape episode where John Crichton is shown different alternate worlds where some things are different and some things are the same. I liked the idea because there are many possible outcomes based on parallel situations. So I like calling AU vids unrealized realities because if there were Planet Terror zombies on Supernatural, that's what it would be.
In my own vidding I tend to prefer character studies that try to get under the skin of a character and see the world the way they see it. I also like trying to get at the reasons for their actions to provoke a deconstruction. I like paralleling and showing connections as well. I play with POV too much in my vids, so it never comes across very well.
I've been confused when watching vids before because I wonder if I'm supposed to take the clips as something new or if I'm supposed to only see it in the context of the vid.
I think that some limited repetition within the vid helps to get certain thoughts across. Associating colors or something to a character helps sometimes.
While I prefer certain genres, I can appreciate all of the for their own attributes and differences.
