On November 20th our class had attended a trip to Much on Demand in Toronto. The purpose of this trip was to get a better understanding about Media, and how a tv program runs behind the scenes. The day was fun and also informationative, we had about 3.5 hrs to walk around downtown Toronto and explore city live. We were aired at 5:00pm- 6:00pm for about an hour. The expeirence being on TV was very exciting, since you feel like a star, even though your not the one talking. The best part of the trip was meeting Tim Deegan and Sarah, the reason was is because they are the stars of the show and it felt sick getting to meet them. The day we went was a all request friday which means, they play the songs we request. This was basically an entertainment purpose show, which means they where trying to entertain the audience with comedy and other. Their are 2 set producers who run the whole show, and tell us what to do. They tell us when to clap, laugh, and so forth . The producers basically told the audience what to do, and they pumped us when were on air, they got us excited and all. They where pretty cool. The purpose of the producers was to make the show good, they told us when to smile and they also told us not to wave to are parents, and do stupid things that would ruin the show. The reason why they told us these things was because Tim, Devon and Sarah are the stars of the show and if someone yells out something stupid the whole show would be a failure.Its funny how everyone on reality TV looks so happy but meanwhile we dont know the emotions they are experimenting.
The reason the stars keep smiling on TV is because they are on air infront of millions. I believe the star's are down at several points when being put on air but they just act it all out and make them selves look happy. MOD is like a talk show for teenagers, the show sometimes features stars and singers but this occurs almost every other month or so forth. Some of the stars featured on MOD before include: Justin Bieber, and some stars from New Moon. On this show they show the gossip of celebrities, news, rumors and so forth. They also play music video's which are requested from people. While being on Air their was a web chat at one point which means someone would call MOD and be on air from their webroom cam. I found this very interesting how technology could make this happen.While on MOD the producer planned out the whole set, he was incontrol of the stars for example: where their going to sit, what their going to do and say.
