The Development of Reality TV

Our reality TV show, The Hoax is hugely influence by the show Celebrity Big Brother. We plan to use the same hidden camera effect on our show. Our celebrities wont know they're being watched at night when we haunt them. We have also decided to hold hoax endurance tasks during the day to make them believe that they are on a reality called 'The Castle'. Similar to the ones on CBB they will only be for a laugh, we plan to make our celebrities think they're doing these tasks to get treats for their teams but actually at night we're going to scare them.

The influence we've had from Im a Celebrity is the same as CBB, we want to use the same endurance tasks when we scare them at night. They will have to face certain tasks with out them knowing about it. We will have certain challenges for them to accomplish to stay in the show.

Other reality shows that have influenced the development of our show have been US shows such as MTV's Fear, Fear Factor and Scariest Places on Earth. These supernatural and  paranormal Reality TV shows have been around since 2000. We plan to make ours relative from the beginning of the show.

Our hidden camera aspects will capture what is going on, what the contestants think is, behind the scenes. I think this form of reality TV has given its viewers the best form of entertainment being able to see celebrities in their 'everyday' mode. I think this is something that would really appeal to the general public because they all want to know that they aren't so different from themselves.

For the second question i asked if there were any artists that people were looking forward to in 2013. I got many responses.


  • Peace
  • Lumineers
  • Jake Bugg
  • Jamie T
  • Disclosure
  • Alt J
  • Gabriella Aplin
  • Netsky
  • Wiley
  • Big Sean
Some people weren't as specific and answered with 'different newcomers' and 'younger artists'.




These artists all have new albums coming out in 2013, this question has helped me choose which ones to focus on and which are more popular.

Weekly Log.

Friday 26th October. 

Today i finished off my mind map about the target audience and uploaded it to blogger. I then added some extra information into the post to further explain who my target audience would be. I then created my Assignment Planner and planned out the 7 weeks ahead and what i hope to have achieved in the next 7 weeks. I have planned every week up to the deadline and know what i will be doing each week. 

Friday 9th November.

Im researching for my article now that i know what i'm doing. I've decided to do my article on up and coming bands in 2013 and new albums that are coming out. I've found that wiki has a list of new albums that are coming out and their dates which is useful, i've also looked at the Barclaycard Mercury Prize winners. Next lesson im going to start planning my questionnaire to fill out my primary research.
