What do you do when you come home from work or school? And in the morning, when you wait for aromatic coffee to brew? That's right, watch TV shows! Over the past ten years, they have already replaced walks around the city and gatherings with friends for many. Why did it happen? What is the magic here?
Now full-length films are much inferior in popularity to TV series, which have almost replaced cinema. And Netflix seems to have completely enslaved the world. When the interactive episode "Black Mirror: Banders Netch" was released last New Year's holidays, everyone was talking about it! And the feeling was as if the celebration itself had faded into the background. After all, a real revolution in the world of cinema took place before your eyes: the audience was able to make a choice for the main character.
So what are they good for?
Most people, in fact, have free time only between breakfast and work and also between dinner and sleep. For a long film, this is not enough, for a series - just right. The plot, divided into chapters, each of which lasts from 30 to 60 minutes, fits perfectly into the rhythm of city life and structures time well. This is partly why TV shows have taken the lead in the list of modern hobbies.
Another argument is the amount of information consumed. Many people read a huge number of texts on work or study, so in the evening it is difficult to read something else, albeit for entertainment. After a hard day, you want to relax, change your activity, you need a different way of perceiving content. And then the series comes in - the modern form of the novel. Today's viewer is quite capricious, he needs an intricate storyline, a detailed description of the characters, riddles and psychology. The same "Banders Netch" had as many as eight endings! People like to dig, they like depth.
From this we can conclude that cinematography is plastic, adapts faster than others to audience preferences and, possibly, is going through another era of "renaissance". Plus, the show is always a good topic of discussion. There is even such a common phrase: "Love of the 21st century is watching TV shows together." Through studying them, you can even understand what kind of relationships exist now and how to interact with the world.
Not only a high-quality picture, a well-thought plot and a soundtrack help to perceive the stories of heroes, costumes also play an important role. No clothes appear on TV shows just like that. Dressers work out the concept of each image to make them bright and memorable.
School of life on the screen
The series can be viewed as a kind of educational videos that broadcast the rules of life and cultural attitudes. It is not for nothing that in recent years, with the change in the social agenda, the heroes of absolutely all films have become more diverse, and their characters have become more open and bold. And this is good. Intricate stories often show situations that you may not be able to get into. But if, nevertheless, something similar happens, you will already have some, albeit conditional, experience.
The main thing is not to forget about the existence of real life in all this involvement in cinema reality. Because it's good here too!
