How Real Termehek-mehek?

Have you ever watched Termehek-mehek? I sure that all of us have ever watched this program.Termehek-mehek is one of example from a lot of reality show in our national station television today.And I think it’s the most popular reality show now.After success of temehek-mehek, another television produce other reality show such as ; cinta pertama (first love), cinta monyet (puppy love), backstreet, CLBK (old love blooms), and mak comblang (matchmaker).Although there are so many program similar, but this reality show have a different way in screen.Termehek-mehek is about journey love scene.There is someone who is looking for his/her love, it’s very dramatically because maybe his/her lover have moved to a new life or sometimes passed away.It’s not only to looking for her boyfriend or his girlfriend but everyone who we loved.

As usuall, it’s sure that everything have bad and good sides, have opponent and disopponent.And also this program, there are a lot of suspend or doubt in there.Some people think that this is not a reality live,this program has been scripted before, this is a liar program, and the other issue.And actually I included in some people who didn’t believe about this reality because I think there are  so many exaggerating scene in there.But my opinion have been changed after I got the data from the internet about how real reality show, especially for termehek-mehek.

According to the data that I’ve read, executive producer of termehek-mehek, Herny Mulyani said ” the popularity of reality shows was a response to the fact that many tv programs had been accused of being overtly unrealistic, and we are trying to create something the audience can relate as well as be entertained that by.” She explained that reality TV show plots were also more authentic and engaging than scripted dramas, it’s established from people will feel the emotion if, for example they watch people fighting for real or if they see the crews being beaten.And she also said that despite the ”real” aspect on screen conflict, films crews often try to provoke emotional responses from the participants before the cameras start rolling.”We talk to people about their problems.Some times we ask people related to the participants to work with us also,” she explained.Herny said crew members filmed real negotiations that usually involved conflict, but didn’t air the footage without the consent of the people involved and at the end of the filming,we will persuade them to allow us to use the footage.sometimes we success, other times we have to abandon the shots altogether and some also give their consent conditionally requesting the footage be shown only once or with blurred faces, street signs or just license the plate number.”

So guys, it’s not easy job as we think because we only know the success of air without  know how many failures they have been through during the production.After all, I can conclude that all the stories in termehek-mehek based on true events eventhough there are still need to provoke emotional responses, some editing, and some modification to achieve their desired effect.But I think it’s doesn’t matter because there is no filming without directions from the director.That’s the name of entertainment and we can get much learn of it and make us will be more love and respect anyone that we have now.
