Terms and Definitions
Netflix is a popular global streaming platform that offers a vast library of films, TV shows, documentaries, and more. Users subscribe to the service on a monthly basis and are then able to stream content on demand.
"Hours viewed" is a metric denoted by streaming platforms that tracks collectively how many hours a particular content has been watched. It measures the total time in hours that users have spent viewing a specific movie or show.
Streaming is a method of consuming media where data (such as video or audio) is sent in a continuous stream over the Internet, allowing playback to start while the remainder of the data is still arriving. This is different from downloading, where all data must be received before playback can begin.
A subscriber is a paid member of a service. In Netflix's context, a subscriber is an individual or a part of a household that pays a monthly fee to gain access to the streaming service's library of content.
Live-action, in film and television production, refers to cinematography that uses actors to play characters, as opposed to animation. Live-action productions can use computer-generated imagery (CGI) for special effects, but the main elements are filmed in real-world settings with human actors.
An animated movie is a film created using techniques that give life to drawings, models, or computer-generated characters. Animated movies can typically achieve visual effects beyond the reach of live-action films and can be based on a variety of genres, including video games.
