Onlines writes about how Reality TV is Scap TV, i have to agree..

Reality Tv has detroyed TV for me, it was supposedly aimed at mi demographic because of its ‘interactivity’, ie the brilliant money making scheme by mobile phone companies, it seems to have missed my demographic altogether.

I ahve not watched TV for several days now i just realised, and i think it is my subconcious’s way of dealing with Big Brother. Mindlessness hosted by a 50 year old peice of Mutton throwing the (rather unsettling) occasional sexaul pun.

Where did it all go wrong? What happened to TV? Why cant someone WRITE a TV show anymore? I watched that show about the 3 20 something guys living in Melbourne acting like 2 20-something assholes, i waited till the end to see who wrote it, i can guarantee (certainly) that none of the 3(!) writers are 20 something males.

I have written all of this before, but i think there are other ways to incorporate interactivty without it costing the viewer 55c everytime the vote.

Males like to have the latest technical gadgets, i know i do, i think its just in our nature, therefore i think Digital TV will do well for two reasons

1. Fast Forward ads, we men have an attention spand of 10 seconds max
2. The ability to fast forward any stupid, mindless teenie bopper ( i could go on) Reality TV show

Howdy folks it’s me again with another message to convey

No, I am writing on the perils of living with females, yes its true, they are different, and it all begins in the brain.

Just kidding, I think all us men would agree that women are our superiors and that they are much much better than us at everything.

In any case, I am getting off the topic… what was the topic, ah yes, Interactive Documentary

I have a bit of an issue with this. How do you make a Documentary interactive? Documentary isn’t a story, or is it?

In my view, I think it is very hard to make documentary truly narrative, how do you manipulate something that is meant to be based in actuality?

The way Saurabh and I interpreted it in our assignment was that you can change the way you look at it.

Some ideas>–

Different Angles
Be able to rewind and skip
Become a part of the documentary somehow
The Documentary could have integrated hyperlinks so that the user can find out more about any item at any time
etc. etc.

Personally I think that documentary will never be truly multi - linear, and a part of me is happy with that fact.

I like traditional Documentary format, and I don’t think it needs any overhaul. I also think the feeling that all programs need to be interactive is a little off target.

Documentary is interactive anyway … How? When you watch a Doco you already interact with it. You learn from it, it makes you think, you comment about it, you take what you have learnt from the Doco and discuss it with people. Film is different, it is much more passive, people watch it and absorb everything that is thrown at them, Documentary by comparison speaks to the audience and it informs them, the audience develops its own point of view from what they have seen, for example, Bowing with Columbine.

BFC started out as an examination on the Columbine High Massacre and moved into a discussion on societal effects on impressionable teenagers, and in the end focuses on the Americans obsession with Guns.
I know that I formed my own impression after I saw it. The same thing happened to me with the President vs. David Hicks, and definately with Martin Bashirs now infamous Documentary Living with Michael Jackson.

One excellent example is the way Supersize Me really caused a social revolution (if only for a while) against McDonalds, and fast food in general, the audience reacted, they therefore became a part of the film.

I feel this is the trait of a good documentary.
Here is a list of Other Documentary’s I have interacted with mentally, and all of these made me think about what I had seen for days after

Bowling For Columbine
Supersize Me
To Be and To Have (Être et avoir)
Living with Michael Jackson
Afrika: Cape Town to Cairo

I was really going to write something creative here, but i had nothing to write about, but i have been thinking about the end of semester alot, as it is only a week away..

and as it is, i have to say, i am a wee bit dissapointed about my first semester at RMIT. I don’t mind the idea of what we are doing, but i have to say, i have never talked (or rather listened) so much in my life.

I did a 4 year degree, a Bachelor of Digital Media Production, and its more or less the same as what the masters is about, using new technology to blah blah blah blah blah blah blah…….. etc..

As you probably gather i have just about reached my limit. The thought of class and more dreaded, demoralizing talking next semester is really getting to me. If i have to hear one more opinionated rant, or one more pointless and timewasting nonsensical point of view, im going to punch a horse… yep, you heard me a HORSE!!

I have been a little disapointed in the class atmosphere. I have made some good contacts already, but our class atmosphere is about as much fun as your dog getting hit by a car. We had ONE attempt for a get together and it went down like a lead balloon, there were 3 others as well as myself.

Firday night, after our Presentation… LETS HAVE BEERS!!!— Friday rolls around, and i PARTY BY MYSELF…. YEEEEEHAW!! Hey its okay… why dont we go and see a BOLLYWOOD FILM…. YEAH…. aah the memories.

ABOVE: Party Time at RMIT as the MMP students have a social get-together.

So what can i do to make it a better place? More lively, more SOCIAL??? He dont ask me… i only get a 16 for my participation, i was near the bottom remember? Perhaps one of our overlings can suggest something?

I have sour grapes now, but i have to say thanks for letting me get this off my chest, i dont have to worry about offending anyone BECAUSE NO ONE READS EACH OTHERS BLOGS ANYWAY!!!

COWABUNGA, I,m gonna party with my missus, at least she knows how to have fun..
