- Close up shots of speakers and diegtic dialogue “when the music kicks in that’s your que to go absolutely berserk” This makes it clear to the audience that the crowd are influence by producers and told exactly what to do. This insight to behind the scenes is effective for adding to the drama of the fictional show.
- Close up shots of the contestants with background noises of crowds screaming show their nereves and the pressure the feel under at the thought of how the crowd have perceived them and the way the media has portrayed them.
- Diegetic dialogue from Patrick backstage “move that camera off her, I can’t stand her face” highlights the power that people who are positioned high up in the media have. He has the power to give a contestant more or less coverage depending on his personal opinion of them which will have an overall effect on the way they are presented.

When the show goes live and the audience of the drama view it a real eviction it seems unreal and rehearsed rather than the “live” atmosphere that’s felt when watching the reality show. Also, with the previous “breaking news” it makes the show seem staged and the crew (Patrick in particular) self-absorbed. This may make fans feel detached and the contestants fame hungry.
