I think we’re already there. Very few movies or television shows or YouTube pieces get filmed without that in mind.
On YouTube in particular, one specific thing bothers me: When the silent spaces are spliced out and the “narrators” speak as if they draw no breaths. It’s the audio format of the visual tiktok ruination of narration.
It feels like somewhere creators assumed that if they allow the viewer to dwell on a thought they might lose the viewer’s attention. If true, in the end, this format is creating the problem it seems to want to address.
It’s probably why I find myself gravitating to older movies or those directors that stubbornly refuse to give up on large formats.

I’m particularly looking forward to The Odyssey.
