Be still, my heart
I answered an ad for a new TV show about gold mining. Apparently, a
production fabricator there had been reading this newsgroup, and recognized me. In my application, I put that I was amused about how much time, money, and effort was wasted on actually getting gold, with drama being the main story point. I pointed out that some of the major mistakes in the major programs to date could have been prevented by reading commonly available library books on the subject. Apparently, someone in the production staff agreed, and although interested in drama levels, apparently would like to maximize the gold in the poke at the end of the show. Anyway, it would be on a consultant basis. I will have an interview in less than a month. I am also in contact with one of the major players in Bering Sea Gold to see if they would like to incorporate a couple of my ideas on their operations. Gotta love this Internet! Steve |

Steve This has a little discussion of conflict and drama in reality shows. http://oregonstate.edu/instruct/soc4...Realitytv.html I've read several articles that commented on the two participant and target audience models. The gist was that optimists like to watch honest people succeed by their own efforts, for example Dancing With the Stars where they rarely reveal conflict between the contestants. Sports, quiz shows (and usually Star Trek) fit that model. Pessimists prefer to feel superior to scheming, dysfunctional losers. jsw |
