Reality TV, Variety Shows, Crowd Extras, and Booking Agents to Get Quick Media Exposure |
|
||||
The Reality TV show phenomenom has increased the amount of TV time devoted to programs dealing with real people. And the craze for real-life situations in this medium continues to grow at this point. Television executives originally embraced these short run reality shows as an expensive way to shore up summer offerings and to keep viewers from flocking to cable channels. Characteristically, the shows have short runs of 5 to 11 weeks, a take on the tested and true Telenovelas, the limited-run soap operas popular in Latin American countries. The shows integrate well with the web, offering interactive features that compliment and build interest for the show, cast biographies, and of course plenty of photos.
The economics of television production reveal that reality shows are much cheaper to make than dramas or sitcoms. Production costs are approximately $800,000 for an hour, compared with approximately $1 million for a half-hour sitcom or about $2 million for a drama. Best of all for advertisers, young viewers follow the series since they find them a clear alternative to the formula-based sitcoms that have long ruled the screen, and also since many have come up in an age where video capability and independent production are attainable. In other words, the video aesthetics of the camcorder generation are infiltrating broadcast television as many production companies that churn out reality programming employ people in their 20’s. Many of the people who work in reality TV acknowledge that the trend cannot sustain its current high popularity, but they predict that the production standards set by the shows will influence fictional television forms.
The Reality TV format should not be confused with programs that seek and use participants with entertainment talents (singing, dancing, acting, comedy). Some talent competition shows may have elements of reality, and so overlap or crossover is unavoidable. For a listing of shows and showcase venues that search for and showcase performing arts talent, check Open Mic Night: Talent Showcases, TV Talent Search.
These descriptions are about as fun to read as they are to apply to and participate in!
