Apprentice

One television programme that I decided to watch this week was the apprentice which is a reality TV show, the show is for businessmen or women who want to start there own business, they are put through a number of tasks to see who is the best business person and who makes the right decisions. The winner of this show wins a sufficient amount of money and get to work for Lord Alan Sugar. I already know that this show is fake and some parts are scripted, I know that the final decision is not made when you think it is and I know that both of the final contestants are filmed being told that they have won. I generally do not watch this show but I decided to see what I thought of it.

Referring to the researcher I know that every TV they have to do a lot but specificly referring to the apprentice the researcher would have to do things including; sort location, the filming is usually shot in and around London but for some task the contestants have to go out of the country, for this the researcher would have to make sure that the film crew can go and where they can fit. The researcher works closely with the producer so they also have a creative out take on the programme, they have a lot of meetings with the crew including producer, writers and director so they can give any ideas that they feel are relevant. The researcher also would have to do simple things for example any resources that the show may need which could be equipment that the contestants or Lord Alan Sugar, the researcher would have to look up these things and find them. These are just a number of things I felt I should have mentioned.


Overall I found the show personally very fake but everyone has there own opinion.
