WARNING!! WARNING!! WARNING!!!
If your thinking of going up for this be very aware that just like road haulage there are often some very unscrupulous operators working in the media industry as well.
I don’t know who the production company is that’s doing this program or what their goal is, so I don’t know what their final aim is, but it’s usually it’s.
The way things like this usually go is like this:
They get a contract to do a set amount of time limit programs, eg 6, 12, 18, programs, each of which would be around 21 minutes or 47 minutes of talking, plus intro music and space for ad brakes make them half hour or one hour programs.
There are loads of production companies out there all trying to do the same kind of thing, so they have to come up with something that will set them above the other, because if they can’t sell their product then like all other businesses they go bust.
So what can they do to make sure they can sell their product, controversy is always a good place to start, get someone doing a stereotypical job, who has an unusual quirk or in other words and not as political correct as it has been mentioned before on this thread a modern day Freak Show.
Before I go any farther I would like to say right now that if you are a cross dressing anything, I really don’t care, on way or the other Live and let live. Good on you mate, at least you have the balls to get on with your life as you see fit.
They’ll get in some kind of angle from the humanity side, just some bloke like you and I getting on with life, BUT there’s a different side to things going on here.
I don’t know the lay out out of the program, but will either be follow you through a day or a week in your live, and see how you cope with things. Interview family and friends and get their views. Or there may be some kind of studio work with a Q and A from the audience and no doubt there will be some kind of specialist, or physiologist involved, may be even someone from an opinionated religious organization, anything to get a debate going.
Before you start you will have to sign some kind of contract or wavier stating that the in no way will the production company take any responsibility for what happens during or after the filming of this event.
But what could possibly go wrong, after all your only getting on with you life the way you see fit!!!
Many times round the world things have gone wrong with this kind of production, there are many people out there that don’t have your personal view point. Some folk aren’t, or don’t have malicious intent, they just make knee jerk, of the cuff remarks. And some are just ignorant, bigoted morons.
When it gets to post production the producer might think it needs spicing up a bit because it’s just not quite edgy enough to get it over the line, so there could be an off hand comment made by an ill informed narrator. It only takes one line, a handful of words by a well crafted word smith could change your life dramatically.
Get enough of those kind of comments flying about at an emotional time of your life and very quickly thing can go the wrong way. Family split, having to move house, get out the area, or country, depression, even suicide. All have been the result of these kinds of programs.
The only advice I can give you is that you have a stipulation in your contract to make sure you get to see what is going to go to air before it’s broadcast, and that you also have the right to change or remove any content that you think is inappropriate.
15 minutes of fame can destroy your life for ever, and don’t think that production company gives a stuff, they moved on a long time ago and are now destroying something else in the name of entertainment. But on the flip side people are talking about them now, and any publicity is good publicity.
It’s you life be aware.
