The tone of voice is also clear in a video. In text, this is determined by word choice and punctuation, which usually takes more energy to understand. For this reason, the average viewer remembers a video 95% of the message being told, compared to 10% if the same message were read.

That is also what is special about video   other media forms can be incorporated. In addition to images, a video also contains sound, music, photos or text. The other way around is of course impossible.
