Like, I feel like, books, its just a bunch of description that never truely paint a scene.
In a movie or TV show, you see exactly what the scene is, exactly what is happening. I mean, of course, sometime they cut corners and cut of parts of a book, but otherwise, its more easily conveyed.
Like the popular saying, a picture is worth a thousands words. But I’d say: a video is worth a million pictures.
It depends? Video can get across an explicit concept easier for me. If I’m learning something that I’ll struggle with, I find that video is usually a better bet for me.
For fiction, I prefer books because it can get a lot more across. It’s not even just that they cut corners or parts of a book, sometimes a book will have the protagonist basically run an internal monologue, or just notice something in a particular way that conveys a lot of information in a way that a movie or show can’t really do as seamlessly, if at all.
Video is better for showing details and small things, but I can fill in the blanks myself- I find it really frustrating when authors don’t let me fill in the blanks. I don’t need the entire feast described in depth to me, I don’t give a shit how the pig is coated in honey and the desserts look delicious unless the reveal is that the pig is poisoned and the desserts went bad last week.
