I quite enjoy the unique style of these backroom ending videos, so I thought I'd comment my thoughts on this one First, I have to say it's a pretty good video and I enjoyed it. However, what was more interesting for me was it's changing themes. It seems like you are still undecided on a style and so, the focus of your videos is more on anything you can think of rather than something consistent. Examples of more consistent theming would be the videos by Serendipity Narwhal. For this case, his first video (linked here th-cam.com/video/GWWf1NGNmDQ/w-d-xo.html) would be closest to yours as there are still both good and bad emotions in the differents events. However, they all feel like they are a part of one consistent emotion of uncertainty. On the other hand, the events of this video are much more inconsistent. I do have to clarify that I am perfectly fine with this style, but I wanted to suggest going for something that's more consistent as I believe that that leads to more interesting videos. So, I'll start by grouping all of the endings. We have: -Unnerving - Something happened and the future seems negative -Naive - Something happened and the future seems positive -Scare - A jumpscare or something similar -Joke - An event that isn't supposed to taken seriously -Meta - An event that relates to how we perceive the Backrooms -Footage - Audio of people is used -Questionable - The music and text doesn't match the picture -Misc - Doesn't fit anywhere else The reason I made these groups is because I believe you could focus in on a few. For example, most backroom endings videos focus on the first 2, while also adding in some more relaxed and calm events. Others focus in on Scare and Unnerving for a more horror like experience. But alright, let's go to each ending. For brevity, I will rank the main elements of any event into a short string I made up right now. Basically, I will rate these aspects: -Music - Quality of the music and how well it fits -Text - Quality of the text and how interesting of a story it tells -Video - Quality of the visual element and how well it shows the event -Intrigue - How well all of these elements create an event that you can then think about. I will explain this further a bit later, but keep in mind that you don't have to treat this element highly as a video can be good without it. These will be rated from 1 to 5, in this order: Music, Text, Video, Intrigue and will look like this: 5555 for a max score. So, let's get to the endings 0:05 Post Apocalyptic Ending (Unnerving) 5444. Here all the elements combine well to make you think about what truly happened - why did this happen? How did you manage to cause the extinction of humanity? That thinking is what I call Intrigue and is what sets aparat backroom endings videos from most other videos - these events give you some information, but not all of it, so you have to think about what happens next 0:32 Unknown Entity Ending (Unnerving) 0:41 (Volume Warning) Learning with Pibby Ending (Scare) 5554. I will group these two together, because of how they work with each other. The "jumpscare" has a really nice approach of being unexpected, but not really being a jumpscare, rather just a sudden change. It transitions very well from the Intrigue you feel in the first half, but doesn't just scare as you're still intrigued by what Pibby is. The black mass in the picture? Something else? 0:54 (Volume Warning) 0's Edge Ending (Unnerving) 4555. Great idea of going to the edge of Level 1 complimented by a great picture, Music fades out, so it releases the tension, when, in my opinion, it should keep building it. Still a good choice though 1:16 Contusion Ending (Questionable) 3543. This is where it gets weird, because, for this picture, I would definetly assume a more Unnerving styled music would be used, but, there isn't. I think you missed out on this and so, the Intrigue is much less interesting. 1:38 Daning Entity Ending? (Joke) 5353. This feels out of place, yet, the music and dancing fit together well, so, I don't mind it. 2:09 Re-Written Ending (Meta) 4423. My perspective of these more meta events is that they don't really fit in with the rest of the events. There isn't much intrigue, because the people who watch these videos will probably already know about other canons, so there's not much to think about. Unique and isn't bad, but also not particualrly interesting. 2:37 1st Day of School (Unnerving) 5444. This is a more traidional event of not really knowing what's going on, so, the potential for Intrigue is there. However, due to how quickly the text changes and just how much of it there is, you end up distracting the viewer by giving him a lot of unnecesarry information. I think that, instead, you could have had 2 screens worth of text that just talked about you appearing here and then hearing something. Then, the viewers gets to think about what that is and where the character is 3:17 (Volume Warning) Found Footage Ending (Footage) 5343. Footage styled events are strange to me. On one hand, they provide more information, however, they also take away from the Intrigue. In my opinion, using them is a risky choice, as backroom endings videos are strongest when they build the Intrigue and Found Footage videos are strongest when they build up the tension and release it with some monster appearing. Combining them leads to an epxerience that's a bit of both and not that effective. 3:50 (Spider Warning) Arachnophobia Ending (Questionable) 3344. None of the elements here fit together. The picture shows immediate danger, music is calm and text shows potential danger. That does lead the viewer to think about if there's even any danger in this event, but it doesn't quite feel right for an event. The "Must be a mistak-" leads you to think that something may happen, but it doesn't, so, it's just a bit odd and not that memorable of an event. 4:14 Frown War Ending (Misc) 3544. A more traditional event, where the focus is on the story, which builds the Intrigue well of who the frowners are. However, neither the music or image really help, nor do I think that they could, because it's just a story rather than an experience. 4:39 Entity 198 Ending (Uncertain) 3333. Nothing interesting. It's alright for an event, but these events, where there's no strong emotion, just aren't particulalry memorable. Maybe it's supposed to be more for those who know what Entity 198 is, but I think backroom endings videos should be interesting for both those who know and don't know about the presented backrooms references. 4:54 (Volume Warning) Entity 777 Ending (Footage) 5444. Same with the previous Footage event - the audio aspect of the guy running shows you that eventually, he probably dies. However, with music that increases the tension, you could have kept the mystery of what happened to the man. Other than that, I like this more than the previous Footage event, probably because it isn't another monster in Level 1 5:10 Mirror's Edge Ending (Misc) 4444. Similarly to the frown war, it doesn't give off any strong emotion, but the Intrigue of the woman and mirrors is good. 5:31 Backrooms has been hacked. (Meta) 3323. This event just doesn't show much of anything, only talking about the hacking. There's nothing really to think about other than how this would affect the people in the Backrooms. Probably could have chosen a better image too. 5:50 Polybius Ending (Uncertain) 3333. Similarly to Entity 198, there's not much to this. 6:08 Entity 81 Ending (Uncertain) 3333. Again, nothing interesting. I should clarify that I don't mean that this is bad or good, I just think it could be better 6:27 Unknown Maze Level (Uncertain) 3333. Same as above. However, on my first view, the rock that appeared for a bit while the camera was turning around looked like some sort of danger, which could have added some Intrigue. 6:49 Fantasy Ending (Misc) 2322. Personally, I just don't like this event. The idea of a fantasy world in the Backrooms goes against the core of them and kind of defeates the entire purpose. So, there we go, that's every ending. Overall, the video is pretty solid, but, again, I do hope you think about what it is that you want to do with these videos. If it's supposed to just be a compilation of various events, sure, go for it, but I think you could do some more by focusing on something. Bringing Footage styled video and audio into these videos is an interesting idea and worthy of further exploration and you do have some good choices for music. Also, I don't think you should blindly follow what I say, this is just one man's thoughts. Granted, it's from a guy that cares a bit too much about such videos, but I think you should do what you think is best.
No worries, I really appreciate the feedback! Yeah, this is basically a compilation of random backroom ideas that I mostly come up with and I get that inspiration from backroom content creators like Broogli and Kane Pixels. Any feedback helps, so I appreciate your thoughts, and I'll try and improve these ending videos in the near future. Thanks again :)
The ęñd ending: after getting in level 2048 you saw a temper tantrum and your choice was throwing it and it send you back to level 0 you feel nothing but suffering.
I don't get why you don't have waaay more views... This is amazing 🤩
Bwahahaha ! Well done for putting the red mountain stage from Sonic Adventure x)
