I've been an extra on the show a couple of times about 9-10 years ago. Most of the peanut gallery are actually paid. What really surprised me about the show is how heavily edited it is. Six cases, about two shows worth, is a full eight hour day. You know that break you see on these shows when the judge goes to chamber to review evidence? That break can easily be anywhere from ten minutes to more than an hour. That's ~400 minutes edited down to ~40. I've never been to small claims court, but I suspect that's a lot more time than most small claims trials are given. EDIT: From TunaSpleen's description of being an audience member these days, it sounds like production has been streamlined. When I was a paid extra, the court was basically a set in a warehouse near Oprah's studio in the West Loop. Chuu fucked around with this message at 05:00 on May 7, 2015 |
