Make Reality TV & Documentary Series | A Podcast & Blog from TV Producers & Filmmakers Joke and Biagio
Create reality TV shows? What does that mean? How do you create reality tv shows? They are based on real people, places, and things, so can you really even create a reality show?
These were the kinds of questions we constantly asked ourselves when we were trying to break into reality TV (and no one was running a site like this to give us the secrets!)
The truth is, before you can create reality tv shows, you really need to understand the different kinds of reality TV that are being made, and how the show you want to give life to fits in to what’s already on television…and what networks are looking to buy right now.
The blog posts and podcast episodes in this category all address different aspects of how to create reality tv shows, what that really means, and pitfalls you should avoid on your quest to create reality tv shows — all while keeping your shows authentic and not contrived.
