That being, how Netflix tries to engage viewers who spend most of the movie on their phone. <\/p>\n<p>Matt explained that the \u201cstandard way\u201d to make an action movie is to have \u201cthree set pieces.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne in the first act, one in the second, one in the third,\u201d he went on. \u201cYou spend most of your money on that one in the third act. That\u2019s your finale.\u201d But, Matt added, because viewers now have a \u201cvery different level of attention\u201d when watching a movie at home compared to the cinema, Netflix does things differently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow they\u2019re like, \u2018Can we get a big one in the first five minutes? We want people to stay\u2019,\u201d he revealed. And that\u2019s not all. Matt noted how streaming services ask actors to \u201creiterate the plot three or four times in the dialogue because people are on their phones while they\u2019re watching.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Adding to that, Ben said Netflix is changing its formula in other ways. Referencing the award-winning Adolescence, he said: \u201cIt didn\u2019t do any of that sh*t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s f**king great,\u201d Ben added of the series. \u201cIt\u2019s tragic and intense \u2026 There are long shots of the back of their heads. They get in the car, nobody says anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, Matt and Ben concluded that shows like Adolescence are \u201cthe exception.\u201d And, for good reason, too. After all, you\u2019re probably reading this on your phone with a Netflix series playing in the background right now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>TELL US \u2013 HAVE YOU NOTICED A CHANGE IN HOW TV SERIES AND MOVIES TRY TO CAPTURE OUR ATTENTION?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.realitytea.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Rip, starring Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, just premiered on Netflix, and the action thriller is already getting a lot of praise from viewers.
