Some stereotypes seen in scripted reality are:
Fake
Stupid
Wealth
Snob
These four stereotypes are shown in every single scripted reality
however due to location and budget I couldn't use all of these four
things, I decided to focus in on the Fake, Wealth and Stupidity as-
pects.

Whilst shooting the location shots I had to keep thinking about the lighting and if it
would look right on screen, this lead to a lot of rejected clips just to see if it was
light enough.
Within my media products I needed to create the right environment for my char-
acters to be in. Creating the society aspect for Well Jel was mainly done through
all off the pages above and below. The consistency between my products helps create the cor-
rect society for my trailer to be in.
Around the institution I will show how I used the key points to creating the institu-
tion I was looking for, In this day and age scripted reality is the most talked about
genre in the UK and around the world, The trailer can be seen
around the world via TV shows and YouTube, however the
branding still needs to be the same and consistent.

The locations I used to shoot the clips were all in nice areas, however only a
