Yesterday in class, i was assigned an article named "13 secrets reality TV Show producers won't tell you". This article is about the manipulation of reality Tv and it exposes secrets that not a lot of people know about.One of the secrets is that the producers can step in and say that they don't want a person kicked off the show just yet because the person is really good and interesting. They often cut different clips and edit them out to make it sound like one conversation. The creators sometimes intervene between the cast members by instigating a fight between them. For example the show bad girls club. The producers can instigate a fight among the girls to get more views.
I found two secrets to be interesting. One secret that I found interesting was that reality TV stars get a $20 or $30 stipend and all there expenses on the TV is covered for them so there hardly spending money. The second secret was that producers can create complete sentences from scratch which is called frankenbiting. Frankenbite is recorded and edited clips put together. An example is if you see someone talking and the camera is on something else but you still hear that persons voice.
So what did you think about all of this? You summarized what you read well, but why did we read it? Why does it matter to know any of this stuff?
