The televison show 'highway patrol' is both a documentary and reality show as the police are real people dealing with real police situations but reality as the camera crew is able to cut and put together what they wish. they show us what they want us to see not everything that happens.

Reality TV:
Reality TV is just shows, documentarys ect on topocs that realy happen, in normal tv there is a script but in reality tv the producer dosnt know how it will end untill the filming does.

Highway patrol is a reality tv program as what they have filmed really happened. it is also a documentary as it documents crimes and the police officers jobs.

reality tv is Television that is on a real basis and is real things that are happenig.


highway patrol is both a documentary and a reality tv show because although it is a realistic based show but it is also a documentary showing the daily life of policeman.this programm shows a reality side when they make fun of people that think their cool. in a documentary point, they show what happens when you break the law. the cameras and the voice over a re examples a documentary and ral people and real sinarios are examples of a reality tv show.

i think that this show Highway Patrol is a true story but with some of the parts in the show they edit them and the people getting into trouble of the police officers they entertain us because they know the camera is watching them so they start being stupid and they only put it on for our enjoyment and they make sure that we look closly at some of the people so we know that there getting in trouble they zoom insome parts so we see who they arrest and the sound affects when they pull someone over it makes it sound like there already in trouble and they also cut some seens out so the show dosnt go for that long and we dont get bored .... thats what i think about this show.

Highway Patrol is both a documentary and a reality T.V show as the police officers are being showed doing real things that happen on the highway.This is why it is a documentary but it is reality television as the camera crew film certain situations and from there pick the situations they want to show. Another thing they do to make it reality Television is jump from situations to keep the viwers interested. They also add in situations like unregistered equipment and bald tyres which makes this show seem real.

Reality TV Definition:

reality tv is a version of real life.
This is because, on tv, editors can choose which parts they want to show. thy can show one person more than the other and make the audience form opinions of people.



Highway patrol is both a documentary and reality television. This is true because the person is just living out there lives, but on camera. It shows people doing what they ]do, but parts have been taken out, re- arranged and edited. There is a voice over and non- diajetic sounds have been added to convey emotion and feelings.

Definition; Reality TV is programs on tv that have everyday people in it and the camera crew follow what happens to them or a certain thing they go threw during their day, work or rehab etc. For example: Biggest Loser or Wife Swap.


Highway Patrol is both a documentary and reality tv. This is shown as a documentary when the police officer speaks to the camera person and also when the truck driver talks towards the camera aswell, as it is like being interviewed in a documentary. It is then seen as reality tv when the camera crew just follow around the police officers and criminals and show us what they do in the job. The editor of these tv programs can make your oppinion of police officers or criminals vary in whatever they show you on the show, they can leave some information out and not always show the complete truth.

Reality tv: Reality tv is a type of program on tv which most of the truth on a particular topic to give the viewers understanding of this particular topic.

I think Highway patrol is a documentry and reality television show. It is a documentry and reality television show because it shows real bits of footage and also stretches the truth a bit to lead viewers on to make make them biased etc.

Reality TV is a specific type of television, it is made to the viewers satisfaction. they creators of the show use various editing skills to entertain the viewer. They use effects such as hidden camera's and microphones to release emotions and feeligs that a character may not show if they realised they were secretly being documented.

Highway Patrol is a television show that is a documentary and a realty TV show. Its a documentary show because there is a purpose of the show (to film people breaking the law via vehicle) and to show the public what may happen if they're caught breaking the law.
Its also a reality TV show because they use different effects like hidden camera's to capture moments that the law-breaker may not show if they were aware of them being filmed at all times.

Reality TV would perhaps be described as the combination of fliming and actual real life events. Highway patrol is a good example of this; as they are recording real life situations but edited out most or insignificant parts as to show us what they want us to see and interest us
