Examples of semi-scripted programmes
for television are:
A news programme: Here, the programme consists of a
scripted part, such as news read by the anchor from the teleprompter, and an
unscripted part, when the anchor asks invited panellists for their views, or
asks ‘live’ questions to the reporter on the field. Example: Any news
show on Hindi or English news channel (name them)
A chat show : Here, stock opening shots and
camera movements are scripted. The host may read out the introduction and
backgrounds of the guests from a teleprompter, but after that the show is
unscripted. The guests interact with the host without a script. The ending of
the show may be again according to the script. Example “Coffee with
Karan’
Reality shows: Reality shows on TV are not
unscripted but ‘manufactured reality’. A good portion of the hosts interaction
and the judges’ interaction are scripted. Some portions are spontaneous, but
the shows must fulfil the objectives of the production. Example: Big
Brother, Big Boss
Quiz shows and contests: The presenters follow a script, and
so does the camera and production crew. It is the contestants and their
performance that is not scripted and is largely spontaneous. Example:
American Idol, Who wants to be a Millionaire?
