What is the impact of reality TV on movies?

Another thing reality television has done to the entertainment business, the movie business and drama television is that the audience now no longer minds shaky cameras, quick moving cameras, and television that's a little rougher around the edges. It's actually become the preference; things that are too polished and a little too slick are looked at by the audience as a little bit suspect. You see now in movies and in dramatic television a lot more variety, like in cinema. They're trying to look a little bit more like reality than they used to and it's because the preference of the audience is for a real experience that feels unpolished. Another way that reality television has changed the landscape for movies and for television is that documentaries have become much more popular. People like true stories. It's been proven that people like true stories and they seem to even prefer true stories in a lot of instances. Reality television has really opened up the field to documentary makers.
