hopefully, this show will be less manipulative than those that have preceeded it but you can't blame people for their cynicism when it's based on so much past experience.
previous producers have not been shy of treating scenes to make them appear as if they were shot in blurry, grainy, black and white with an ancient camcorder, instead of the several grands worth of gear that was actually used (painfully obvious sub text: it's a low rent industry, full of cheap-jack sleazoids and their gullible victims). another commonly practiced sleight of hand is to 'quote' interviews with people in the industry using voice-overs designed to predjudice viewers responses in a negative fashion. and no channel 4 porn docu would be complete without a sinister soundtrack comprising lots of menacing, growling bass synths, accompanied by suitably slow and downbeat rhythms.
on the brighter side, if lizzie borden see's you with your head down a toilet you might get some work out of her!
hope you're feeling chipper.
