Watching a feature film is an event, while a television show can be viewed more passively, explains entertainment expert and media arts instructor Dan Watanabe. This partly explains why viewers may more harshly critique flaws in a film versus a show. While watching a movie, our attention is extraordinarily focused. We&rsquo;re soaking in every detail, so any flaws in the film will be glaring. A cable or broadcast TV show, however, includes characters who should, overall, be relatable and likable. Viewers aren&rsquo;t as focused while watching a show because they may also be doing the laundry or taking care of their kids, so they&rsquo;ll be more forgiving of any flaws in the television show. These differences in how the content is consumed does impact how it should be structured and developed.</p> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-01-17/DifferencesintheContentDevelopmentProcessforFilmsvsTelevision.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../DifferencesintheContentDevelopmentProcessforFilmsvsTelevision.mp4</a></p><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Subscriber, video</div>
