The Phone

The Phone is a Dutch television reality show, which is created by Willem Brom, Beau van Erven Dorens and Marc Bennink.

In each show two cell phones will be hidden at random places by the producers of the show. The phones will start ringing and the people answering the calls are from that moment participants in the game. These two people now have a chance of winning €25,000 by collaborating in the hunt for accomplishment of the given missions. The unique aspect of the show is that it's filmed as being a movie rather than a reality show. It was inspired by movies like Die Hard with a Vengeance.

The first episode of The Phone was aired by Dutch public broadcaster AVRO on July 6, 2007. The show has already been sold to 52 different countries.

It won the Best Reality prize at the 2008 Rose d'Or ceremony.

Format

The two contestants have only a limited time of three hours to complete all assigned tasks, after which the prize, in a brief case is removed.

In the earlier format, three USB "thumb drives" are hidden at various points around the city. One commonly used site is one of the city's cathedrals. Each drive holds clues to the whereabouts of the brief case and these are revealed in the penultimate stage of the game where the "thumb drives" are plugged into a specially constructed display unit which is also on contact with the "Operator".

The Phone (U.S. TV series)

The Phone is a United States reality television show, based on the Dutch version of the same name. This show aired on Fridays at 10pm Eastern time on MTV

Format

The Phone is a reality series that locates its contestants on the street. The two contestants are two people who some months before filming registered to take part in a mysterious game. The chosen players answer one of two ringing phones placed in separate locations. Once a person answers the phone, they are asked by the show's host, played by Emmett Scanlan, known to the viewer as "The Operator", if they would like the chance to win up to $50,000. If the offer is accepted, the game begins by activating a scenario that seems to be out of a movie (Example: In the premiere episode the game began with a car exploding and The Operator explaining that a mad bomber was loose, and the contestant's task was to stop the bomber and bring him to justice). The players are then given a series of instructions to follow to complete various tasks (known as "Missions") that have some level of involvement with the situation. Additionally, the players are informed to keep in mind everything that they see and hear over the course of the adventure, for it will have some bearing in the game later on.

Pick-up (filmmaking)

In filmmaking, a pick-up is a small, relatively minor shot filmed or recorded after the fact to augment footage already shot. When entire scenes are redone, it is referred to as a re-shoot. Both of these types of shots usually occur after continuity, logic, or quality issues are identified during the film editing process. In other words, such shots are occurring months after the sets have been struck, the costumes and props have been stored, and all the cast and most of the crew have moved on to other projects. If these issues had been identified during principal photography, the director would simply have asked for another take. Thus, the director and producer must carefully balance the cost of reuniting key cast and crew members on set against whether the pick-ups or re-shoots are absolutely necessary to fix plot holes (or worse) in the final cut.

The three movies in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, directed by Peter Jackson, were filmed back to back, and so used pick-up shots. The three films in The Hobbit trilogy, also directed by Jackson, used similar techniques.
