About
the Genre of Reality TV
 from the Special Media Unit.
If your dreams should all come true,
what would you do?
Virtual School
is ...
...also in the genre of "Reality TV". Being informative to the viewer, educational to the subject, a career promoter for the
director/creator all while providing a positive message to the world.
Where do we fall in the "Reality TV" genre? There are many different takes on the genre but one
correlation between what you have seen on television and what we are doing in this training can bee seen on "HELLS KITCHEN".
In that project the contestant/subject performs on a "team" that creates a product (a meal) for a (3rd party) restaurant full
of diners.
In "Broadcast Underground" the subject/protégé' (you) are part of a
"team" that creates a TV series (the product) for a (3rd party) being a global audience of fans and
players of a new concept reality game.
These are not listed here as templates for our project. It's not
homework and we are not emulating them. We merely provide them to give a sense of the entertainment
atmosphere and personal lifestyles of your contemporaries. After all, your training with us will launch you directly in their
direction.
Provided here are a few shows for the actor or model. And next are
for
the producer or director.
Enjoy!
