The Reality Behind Reality TV Editing

by John P.

reality-tv-editingThis short video shows you exactly how “reality” TV is only as real as how it’s edited. In other words, you’re seeing the story someone thinks you’ll find most interesting, not necessarily what really happened.

These guys did an interesting little test by shooting hours of fairly boring video, and then show you how it can be used to show completely opposite things depending on how they want to tell the story. Enlightening…

It just goes to show the amount of crap on out TVs and we are suckered in to these reality tv programs like Big Brother. Aisleyne from BB in the UK though…no wonder we sit there for hours on end glued to the TV lol.

Woooow, people see all this and find it so interesting that they want to be actors. But they have no idea what goes behind the scene.

That’s why a few of the reality stars have been upset at how things were edited. Even though they were there and they said what they said, the intent and a few things have probably been taken out of context.

I have always believed that there is no such thing as a reality show.

People look at these reality shows and wonder why no mistakes happen on these reality tv shows. They keep the best one’s in and they embarrassing ones off. Thanks for pointing this out.
