1. Reality documentaries

2. Within this PowerPoint I will be researching and
exploring reality tv documentaries, examples are:
Educating essex
Geordie shore
Big brother

3. The genre of documentary that I will be
focusing on is reality tv the reason for
this is because I like the idea of watching
something comical and entertaining in
which reality tv is known for. Reality tv
uses varies things to make it different to
other genres for example; to make the
audience want to watch the tv
programme they add in drama,
arguments, emotions, comedy- these
are all things that make reality
successful and enjoyable to watch
The genre

4. Reality tv can be different depending on the show.
For example Geordie shore is about a group of
20-30 yr olds who party all day whereas the
undateables is about finding dates for people who
struggle with love. The one reality show I enjoy is
educating Essex it is comical with sarcasm in
which is what I find interesting bout it. The reason
reality tv separates itself from other categories
such as crime because it is based on real life
people and what they do, also some programmes
such as educating essex and bad education are
based on a school, it is acted however due to the
environment and location being a school it is
classed s reality tv

5. Accessibility
Most reality tv shows are available on demand and
catch up if people miss them. Shows tend to be
repeated next day in the morning and at their
original show time, for example- big brother is
shown the next day aswell as they have their own
app to watch the previous shows, there is also a
mtv, itv, bbc, itvbe, app which shows the latest
shows on tv, you can go on demand and search in
anything that you want to watch in which comes up.
Some are also distributed on NETFLIX

the reason being is the language the people speak, the graphic thin
gs such as nudity and explicit language and the comical side is usual
aimed at a younger generation
