Researching Documentary Forms - Samantha from Seven Days

As part of our research development, it was imperative to see whether the charactars actually developed their life choices around the suggestions of their audience. In order to prove whether the characteristics of audience choice existed, we have chosen a character to experiment with a see whether our suggestion really do appear in the lives of those we are observing. 


I have chosen Samantha, a model who is aspiring to be an actress. I was interested in Samantha because she has become an incredibly controversial character. People observe her too be an incredibly obnoxious, pompous and selfish. I would somewhat agree with the statement, however I find it interesting to see the reaction from the audience on "Samanthas Chat Nav". 

We can already see the development of audience involvement in this show. Not just on the internet, but in the show itself. Samantha and Lauren come face to face with some one who is interested in the reality of the show and their behavior. I personally believe it must be suggested that this interaction with a member of the public suggests reality, and the editors and producers are obviously playing to the knowledge that if normal people can be involved and have critical comment on the cast's lives in the show, then undoubtably they will get involved online.
