Docu-soap
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Docu-soap is a kind of format for a reality television program. The shows are characterized by the focusing on the interpersonal drama between the participants rather than the subject of the show itself.
In many reality television shows, the viewer and the camera are passive observers following people going about their daily personal and professional activities. This style of filming is often referred to as "fly on the wall" or cinéma vérité.
