Look! We have a scientific study for
The Formula For a Perfect Movie. There's even a graph!
Seriously, I'd like to know more about this study. We aren't given hardly any info except it suggests it has to do with our attention spans.
A couple of interesting points:
In a new study, professor James Cutting found that the more recent the blockbuster, the more closely the length of its shots followed that same fluctuation. ...but just because movies are increasingly pleasing to our subconscious minds doesn't mean that we will necessarily like them more: the Star Wars prequels strictly followed the formula. I totally agree that attention span has nothing to do with liking the movie. Sometimes I think a huge
dislike of a movie is what holds my attention...it's so bad, I can't stop watching!
