Predict the tone

• The three types of tones; the tone of voice, tone of the visual, and tone of the message.
• The tone of voice is the way you modulate your voice to fit a certain theme or mood.
This is when the actors or the people in the video change their pitch or intonation to
express when they are angry, sad, etc.
• The tone of the visual is the mood that is implied by the creator, director, or writer
through colors and themes. An example is when they use vibrant tones to express
happiness, and darker tones to express misery or suspense.
• The tone of the message is how you classify the message behind the film. It can be
informative, political, dramatic, etc.

The Audience
• The audience or viewers are the focus of a video, they’re the ones who will
interpret the film or video based on what they have watched and their
feedback is crucial for future improvements.
• Predicting the audience involves identifying the audience and adapting
your content to their interests, level of understanding, attitudes, and
beliefs.
• The significance of predicting the audience while being the audience as
well will give you an idea of what you’re getting yourself into, and will
therefore help you in understanding the video.

The Narrative
• A narrative is a story or account of events experiences, or the like, whether true
or fictitious. It’s how the story or message is presented in the video.
• The process of predicting and defining the contents, thoughts, messages, and
knowledge about the video is to anticipate the narrative.
• The process of understanding the connection between the events and
understanding what the elements present and used in the video are such as plot,
setting, environment, characterization, point of view, figurative language, and
literary devices
