Sure-fire method in creating your own reality show concept

These five measures will help you set out in the course towards developing your own reality TV program or documentary film with a specialist, well thought out theory as well as a solid 30-second pitch.

1. THE TREATMENT: Step two in the entire process of creating a sound TELEVISION show or documentary theory, is to create a treatment. Dead simple... Right?

2. THE LOG LINE: Once you hold a good treatment down you can move forward to step three. You are going to need to develop a truly powerful log line for your own reality TV show or documentary film. Understand that a Log Line is just a brief outline of your own TV program or documentary concept, it should offer a succinct synopsis of the principal storyline, and what makes it different or unique, as well as what makes it similar, to other programs.

3. THE HOMEWORK: The initial step in developing your show or documentary film is research. Do your homework, as you start flushing out your idea. Think of all of the reality SHOWS you've seen in your life. Those that did you enjoy most? Why? You're going to need those so that you can write an effective "log line" for the Reality TV style on-line video chain, program or website.

4. You desire to give a visual feel to the reader for your TELEVISION show or documentary. Do some homework on branding techniques and hunt for royalty free pictures that will help illustrate your story. If your notion is for a reality TV program or even for a documentary film or show, don't be afraid to shoot stills using a digital camera or use stock photography to generate your storyboards.

5. THE ONE SHEET: The last step in developing your concept for a TELEVISION show or documentary film is to put all of the pieces together into one one sheet document that contains your log line, edited copy, a few crucial pictures as well as a brief synopsis of your own reality TV show or documentary film concept. For an reality TV program or documentary film producer, this is actually the equivalent to a head shot for an actor or model, or a reel for a director or cinematographer. It is your calling card and a very important factor anybody will ever actually read all of the way through. You should grab the reader's focus immediately or it'll quickly end up under a heap of other really terrific thoughts, or most likely, under yet another thousand or so really poor ones.

Use each one of these measures to focus on telling your complete story in a clear and succinct style. The reader will value it and will probably give it do consideration and time, which will probably be 30 seconds or less. But then again, it only takes an instant to produce a superb choice. You'll have a short file that describes your brand vision clearly and professionally if you follow the general recommendations in these examples.
