REALITY
OF REALITY
Bravo / 5x60mins / 2003
Documentary
series looking at the current spate of
reality shows. These shows are
manipulated entertainment, not straight
documentaries. When there are casting
directors, producers and camera
operators every step of the way, how
spontaneous can any of these
dating/survival/bizarre living situation
shows be? Some "scandals" of
reality's recent history are rehashed
for our short memories, like the time
they used body doubles for an aerial
shot in Survivor, and the lawsuit
Ytossie and Taheed Watson filed against
Temptation Island for kicking them off
when producers knew all along the couple
had a kid. But when the focus turns to
more subtle ways these shows are shaped
and molded, things get more interesting.
Sometimes the cast has to re-enact
scenes to get better camera angles. In
the case of UPN's Manhunt, almost all of
the contest was re-shot with a script.
Other times, their
"confessionals" are actually
interviews, and producers will egg on
other cast members by revealing what was
said about them in these
"intimate" talks. And if that
doesn't heighten the drama enough, some
out-of-context editing will do the
trick.
