Abstract

Nowadays, news-based short videos have become an important method of news communication, which contain background music as the main part to enhance communication effectiveness. In order to figure out whether background music has an influence on news-based short videos’ communication effectiveness, this study takes the short videos of People’s Daily on Douyin as the research subject. The background music in a certain period is collected and its characteristics is summed up. Moreover, based on these characteristics, a questionnaire survey is conducted from the audiences’ perspective to investigate the influence of the styles, genres, and emotional expression effects of background music on communication effectiveness. The study finds that the background music of the videos posted by People’s Daily on Douyin has a strong emotional impact and can facilitate audiences’ understanding of content, and the type of background music affects audiences’ interest in watching short videos. These findings may make a reference for the development of other mainstream news media.
