What happened when one comprehensive let TV cameras into every corner ?
While Big Brother continues its curious afterlife on Channel 5, its days as a cultural force are now long gone. Young people having drunk sex under tables, the late Jade Goody bullying Bollywood starlets, and George Galloway pretending to be a cat.Two female exchange students who were 'secretly filmed' by spy hidden camera in their bedrooms and bathroom are suing their former boss and landlord.three months before they discovered the cameras hidden in smoke detectors throughout the house... it all seems so Noughties now.The real cultural legacy of Endemol's groundbreaking reality show is not to be found on Channel 5 but in its old abode, Channel 4, and any number of observational documentary series in which homes, institutions and workplaces have been given the Big Brother treatment and packed with wall-to-wall cameras.
The Hotel, The Family, One Born Every Minute,The two most favored formats are those of which record on mini dv video camera and those that record onto splash memory cards. When considering picking out camcorders and finding that which is right for you it's important to shop around. 24 Hours in A&E and The Model Agency have revolutionised the television documentary with their relentless but unobtrusive scrutiny, and with their illusion (or perhaps the truth) that ¨C as with BB ¨C viewers are getting closer to unscripted and unrehearsed reality. And now, as of next week, this format is going to school.Channel 4's Educating Essex is the most ambitious observational television documentary yet made in a school.
The "bog-standard comprehensive" (in the words of its headteacher, echoing Tony Blair's infamous description) involved is in Harlow,Commercial hardwood flooring is one such graceful form of flooring style that adds vivacity to the entire interiors of a commercial complex. The sophisticated look of a hardwood floor has the knack of adding gentleness and ethical fiber to any residential or commercial area. Essex, and its governors agreed for it to be rigged with 65 cameras, so that every lesson, every staff meeting, every infraction of the school rules and every pupil pulling a face behind the teacher's back, is caught on camera. It's a candid, revealing and ultimately heartening insight into the workings of a modern comprehensive ¨C or at least this particular comprehensive.
