soap opera effect

A term used to describe the hyper-realistic look of video content that can occur due to high frame rates or certain video processing settings, making everything appear overly smooth and artificial—similar to the visual style of daytime soap operas. This effect can detract from the intended cinematic experience.

I recently picked up all five seasons of The Twilight Zone on Blu-ray. It had been remastered in HD producing a crystal clear and perfect picture, but it was too clean. It was noticeable the show was filmed on a set and at times gave a 'soap opera effect'.

3rd chapter effect

The 3rd chapter effect is when the 3rd chapter seems more rushed than the other chapters

The game danganronpa is a good example of the 3rd chapter effect. In all 3 main games, the 3rd chapters are criticised for seeming rushed, as if they had to kill off two characters. The double murder in the 3rd chapter is olmost tradition at this point. But hey, the 3rd chapters usually have the best memes like the glorious sEeSaW EfFeCt.
