Modern media is too overstimulating

I was watching a video essay on the new film "Forgotten Island", and immediately I found the animation, the editing and cinematography of said film was just nothing but pure garish noise thrown into the face of the viewer, as if the makers of the film were so desperate to keep audience's attentions that felt they had to practically scream directly in their faces every five seconds, with constant jumpcuts and shouting. Then my mother showed me a reel for a recipe for stir fry chicken. Again, the editing style was constantly jumpcutting between each step before my brain even had time to process the instructions. it made my head physically hurt.

I feel like it's all to do with people being addicted to their phones these days that everything is edited in this... extremely distracting way, but I can't help but feel it's harmful. It certainly overstimulated me to the point where I needed to have a little bit of quiet time

  • I feel like video games these days also tend to fall into this current trend of desperately trying to retain attention, too.

    So many of the big titles these days have the characters constantly talking as if they were let's players commenting on the very game they're in and some guy constantly reminding you to "press the jump button to jump" off screen
