425 it is the time. next time you feel like you can't get away from a t-v show or movie, remember a few of the reasons we're about to tell you.

time magazine did some research and found that quick scene changes which means how scenes are edited can control our attention. also directors work hard to control your focus on a scene -- making you focus on exactly what they want you to look at. and the cliffhanger isn't just at the end of an episode that makes you crave the next show. and let not forget sex and violence -- it's human nature, and t-v creators use them both to draw us in and keep us watching. everyone can relate to that feeling of being addicted to your favorite t-v show -- where you just can't get enough of it and can't wait for the next episode? mine is _ _ _ _ -- and we're

going to explain how the creators are tapping into the science behind our tv obsessions to keep us coming back for more. there is a reason for the phrase "can't miss t-v". there are certain tools that your favorite t-v shows use -- to hook you in and keep you watching -- so you can't look away. time magazine pulled together the research -- and it makes a big case -- that we are being manipulated in a big way to love the shows we love. it breaks it down for us -- and here's how: quick scene changes -- how scenes are edited can control our attention too -- look out for quick shot changes and quick montages. this keeps the viewer from zoning out. the director's cut -- time looked at research from princeton university that shows that if directors work hard to control your focus on a scene -- making you focus on exactly what they want you to look at, like a particular person, for instance -- this draws you in much more. and no surprise here, cliffhangers -- the cliffhanger isn't just at the end of an episode that

makes you crave the next show. but look out for this next time -- shows design their script for mini- cliffhangers before each commercial break.
