There are many different types of reality television shows. The main once are those that inform the public of what is taking place in real life such as the daily news, and other informative programs that provide factual reports on important events. However, a parody documentary takes something that is real and exaggerates it as a way to create humor used for entertainment.
A show that is informative is usually based on facts. The research that has been done before hand should be thorough and the right people contacted in order to get different sides of the story. Due to the serious nature of the show, the viewers tend to take things very seriously. They usually believe that what is presented is the truth.
They have to make sure that they are talking to the right people and reading the right documents that are available to them. They also have to make sure that their method of going about collecting this information is legal. If they are not doing their job in the right way, they can be sued or loose their job for breaking the law or not following the rules of their employer.
On the other hand, those creating a satirical show spend more time studying the program that was presenting the real story. They do not do their own research or spend time getting factual or truthful information. They study how the show was put together, how the interviews were done, and how the information was received by the audience.
Humor is one of the main tools that is used in these programs. Yet, just because something is funny does not necessarily mean that there is no ounce of truth to it. Many times humor is used to show how ridiculous the real show was or to point out certain flaws in thinking that would otherwise go unnoticed. If this was done in a serious manner, some people might be too sensitive to the alternative.
On the other hand, this might not be true of everyone since some people might be concerned over the presentation of something that makes a mockery of a real story. What might be funny to one person might be very offensive to another. In the world of entertainment, some people might really love a show or they might really dislike it for a number of reasons.
Yet, on a serious note, it takes a serious amount of work to present these satirical shows. One has to be able to see things from various points of view and this is not easy for many people to do. The creators of these shows also have to look for things within the real show that can be exaggerated to the point of being silly which can also be a challenge.
This is how the creators of these shows are able to take two or more things that are seemingly unrelated to create something new. It may appear to be close to the real thing, but it is really just a different way at looking at the world. This is why there is always an audience who appreciates these forms of entertainment.
