I'm still downloading the vid, but a question occurred to me as someone who isn't a part of the vidding community (but is a slash writer, instead). As fans, we're trained to make sense of discontinuity and nonsense in canon. Do vid-watchers (and even vid-makers) bring the same mindset to watching vids because vids are, like canon TV, visual media?

I was thinking of how Eisenstein argued for montage, and how fans are Eisensteiniens by nurture, if that makes any sense.

Whereas with text, I tend to suspect that fans are less likely to do the close reading to try to make sense of something that strikes them as incoherent, and more likely to shrug and move on to another story.
