Everybody, it seems, wants their own reality TV show like\u00a0American Idol,\u00a0The Apprentice or\u00a0Project Runway.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But how do you break into the lucrative world of reality TV, whether you’ve got an idea for a\u00a0multi-million-dollar series\u00a0or a\u00a0low-budget niche show on cable?<\/p>\n
Be\u00a0in West Hollywood from 7 to 10 p.m. on Monday, March 3. That’s when Media Bistro <\/a>will present a class on “Writing the Reality TV Show<\/a>.”\u00a0<\/p>\n You’ll learn whether reality shows are really reality, how much planning and production goes into unscripted storytelling and how you can get in on the action.<\/p>\n You’ll look at various types of reality shows and what makes them tick, from docu-dramas and docu-soaps (Dog the Bounty Hunter, Laguna Beach) to game shows and elimination-style competitions (Hell’s Kitchen, Survivor) to personality-driven and “aspirational” series (Tasty Travels, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition).<\/p>\n Then you’ll learn how to\u00a0conceive, develop, and sell your idea.<\/p>\n Fee is\u00a0$65.
