The second one was "The Andy Warhol Diaries". In the last episode a person was describing an event but their words and emotions seemed different, as though though the editing of the interview had changed. Also, some parts of that episode I don't recall from the first viewing.
"Is it possible that some Netflix documentaries are re-edited after the initial broadcast?": it happens all the time, for TV shows and movies. It's not Netflix related. Some documentaries or movies need more extra postproduction work sometimes, to correct facts or numbers, translation, lenght, or better stick to different artistic choices.
Re-editing scenes and portions of shows and movies isn't a new concept and has been in practice for years. And while creators think the process of re-editing makes their original stories stronger, many fans reject the idea and prefer movies and shows to stay in their original formats. Despite what fans want, Hollywood and the creatives behind it continue to change movie films for a variety of different reasons. from Screenrant - 10 Shows & Movies that have been edited after their original release
1 Here are some thoughts that may lead to editing, because they occur after the release. "Controversies emerged about several documentaries. Was Fahrenheit 9/11 accurate in its factual indictment of the Bush administration's geopolitics? Did Mighty Times: The Children's March misrepresent civil rights history through its use of both fabricated and repurposed archival evidence? Should films such as Ghosts of Abu Ghraib and Standard Operating Procedure feature images that further embarrass and humiliate their subjects?"
At the same time, Netflix with ads also feels half-baked. I quickly found some missing titles, including some of the best shows on Netflix. The good news, though, is that there didn't seem to be too many ads. Four or five minutes per hour, which is better than broadcast TV. Also, unlike on Hulu, there were no ads when I paused a show.
Everyone was reacting to the death of King George, and the second Martin Charteris ran out of a room and hopped into a car, a Chevy Silverado ad played. The volume jump, and the tonal change, were simply jarring.
The visual fidelity loss wasn't obvious until later scenes in the episode. So when Vanessa Kirby's Princess Margaret went off on a galloping horse, moving faster than those before, I started to notice visual artifacts (akin to glitches, but more forgivable) that were due to the 720p stream. If you're worried it could have been my Wi-Fi, I watched Netflix with ads on a PS5 that's hard-wired to my router to ensure stability (and tested 4K Netflix on that same console hours earlier).
The downgrade became more obvious during a scene where John Lithgow's Winston Churchill was up at night worrying about his address to the public, following King George VI's death. The light cast upon walls in that dimly lit room created more pixely splotching, which I also saw in the scene where Claire Foy's to-be-Queen Elizabeth II was asked about possibly changing her name.
But the biggest problem I had was how jarring the ad-breaks were. Netflix Originals are not made for ads, and The Crown's second episode is perfect proof. They came in-between scene-cuts, which is good, but they still didn't fit at all. For example, everyone was reacting to the death of King George, and the second Martin Charteris (Harry Hadden-Paton) ran out of a room and hopped into a car, a Chevy Silverado ad played. The volume jump, and the tonal change, were simply jarring.
Later, when Elizabeth's plane was flying out of Nairobi, and a child was chanting in Swahili, another ad jumped in. This time, a Bud Light ad, blasting "You Sexy Thing" by the British funk group Hot Chocolate played.
Hilariously, the Community episodes I watched (episodes 2 and 3) both didn't have any ad breaks. Not giving up there, I turned on the first Seinfeld episode (making a new Netflix account for this meant all my progress was lost). That didn't have ads either.
Some shows and movies are still in negotiation, as the Wall Street Journal reported. This is only obvious once you happen upon a show you want to watch, only to find a little red lock icon in its tile.
The most frustratingly locked title of them all, at least for me, was The Good Place. Again, a show made with ad-breaks isn't working in Netflix with ads. Even Netflix Original House of Cards (which is distributed Sony Pictures Television) is missing.
Variety reported that five to 10% of titles (depending on your country) are supposed to be missing at the time of launch. This is obvious a small amount, but kinda kills the whole on-demand-buffet nature that Netflix is rooted in.
Right now, Netflix with ads has three problems. The most annoying, I'd say, is how some shows and movies are missing. This will likely be fixed in time. The next up is the fact that you need to downgrade to 720p to watch it.
As for the poor ad placement. I think that will be impossible to fix for some shows. Hopefully, Netflix can figure something out. Maybe run a bulk of ads up front, and none in the middle? Right now, I don't see myself going back to Netflix with ads.
Now, our instant gratification bells ring daily as we pour through episode after episode of new material. And, we can barely remember the (dark) time where we waited days for entertainment instead of having it literally at our fingertips.
Netflix founders Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph wanted to bring customer-centricity to the video rental market. At the time, renting videos was inconvenient and costly, with customers often plagued by expensive late fees.
In 2007, they took their first step into the world of streaming video. They offered customers a streaming subscription in addition to the more traditional DVD rental service, giving customers the option to chart their own path.
At the same time, they were watching postage prices. The price of postage kept rising, and internet speeds were on the ups. By watching how the market and internet infrastructure changed, they identified the right moment to launch their first streaming service.
Bringing changes to your contact center has the potential to transform your customer experience for the better. But, without careful intention, it can also cause friction. Introduce changes to your customers slowly, and make sure your agents are always there to offer extra help through the process.
Track and analyze data from your customer interactions. Create custom reports and dashboards to distill important findings from your data. Then, use the trends and patterns you find to personalize your customer service experiences.
When Reed Hastings and Marc Randolph founded Netflix (formerly known as Kibble) in 1997, the company appeared to be little more than an upstart DVD rental business whose only real value proposition was the mail-order element of its operation. Fast forward two decades and Netflix has become one of the biggest TV and movie studios in the world, with more subscribers than all the cable TV channels in America combined. How did Netflix go from renting movies to making them in just 20 years?
Legend has it that Reed Hastings decided to start Netflix after returning a copy of Apollo 13 to his local Blockbuster. Upon returning the movie, Hastings was told that he owed $40 in late fees. Fearing what his wife would say about such a steep late fee and convinced there must a better way to rent movies, Hastings began to devise what would later become Netflix.
1999: Netflix announces its new subscription model. Introduced at an initial price point of $15.95, the subscription plan allows Netflix members to rent up to four movies at a time, with no return-by dates.
2000-2003: Netflix enjoys consistent growth. However, despite increases in both revenue and subscribers, Netflix is still operating at a loss. The company reports a loss of $4.5M in Q1 of 2002 alone. Much of this loss is the result of an increase in operational expenses over costs reported in 2001.
Even at a relatively high monthly price point, Netflix offered greater convenience and value in a (then) crowded space. It did this by eliminating two mainstays of all home entertainment business models, while simultaneously applying just enough restrictions on members to drive further growth. This allowed Netflix to not only score early wins with consumers (Keep rentals as long as you like! No late fees!), but also helped the company to further differentiate itself from the Blockbusters and the Hollywood Videos while increasing revenue.
The financial challenges that Netflix experienced from 2000-2003 meant that diversifying its service offerings was as much a business necessity as a response to external forces. The company was still several years away from debuting the streaming service we know today. However, behind the scenes, the company was already investing heavily in making Netflix a more personal, individualized experience by introducing recommendations powered by the CineMatch algorithm.
Netflix knew that its growth strategy was working. By making it easier for people to find and rent the movies they loved, the company had built a relatively small but growing subscriber base. Netflix knew it wanted to further expand its subscriber base through its DVD rental business before transitioning them to its online streaming service, even if nobody else saw what the company was doing. And, while its competitors remained focused on the short-term, Netflix was busy developing and investing in the technical resources the company would need to grow even further.
Consumer demand for streaming video was practically nonexistent. For one, streaming technologies in 2007 were terrible. Even the fastest broadband connections lacked the capacity to handle the bit rate of higher-resolution video, which meant overall video quality was poorer than DVD. When Netflix launched its streaming product, Watch Now was only compatible with computers running Windows and would only work in Internet Explorer after users downloaded an applet to make the video player work.
