COMMISSIONS UNIT: Research - Made In Chelsea - Sequences

Following on from our lecture about Actuality and Sequencing, I decided to do some more research into the area.

As a structured reality programme, Made In Chelsea features a lot of sequences. These sequences are constructed to set the scene and establish the situation for the audience. A lot of the sequences involve the cast members walking into a location or pouring drinks.




These sequences help to bridge the action between sections of the documentary / structured reality TV programme. We can take inspiration from this in our own documentary. We can use Alex driving / walking between locations to transition the action. These sequences also allow for a break between sections. We have been told that it is good to have 'music breaks' and segments which separate the action / interviews so that everything feels natural and well paced. These sequences act as a relief from the action / interviews.
