What is reality?

Reality is one of the most difficult concepts to define in any context. Reality is a complex idea. Multidimensional and independent from each other.

May ibat ibang digri o antas ng realidad.

Jigsaw puzzle. Walang may monopolya ng katotohanan.

Six Dimensions
1.Factuality is what actually happened.

2.Plausibility is what could happen.

3.Typicality is what usually happens. 4.Emotional involvement is the degree to which a persons feelings and sense of identity are pulled into a message. 5.Narrative consistency refers to the plot of a story and how well it makes people feel that sequence actions are believable. 6.Perceptual persuasiveness refers to how real the images look.

Consider this in understanding messages:

Audience Perspective Programmers Perspective

Perspektiba ng Manonood
To be able to get what they cannot in real life.

Pagdanas sa mga bagay na hindi pa nararanasan.

Paniniwala na imposibleng maranasan ang isang bagay/pangyayari. Suntok sa buwan!

Masyadong magastos.

Perspektiba ng Programmer
Kailangang laging maakit ang manonood na tumutok sa kanilang programa. Ano ang gusto ng manonood? Ano ang hinahanap nila? Hanggat maaari nakaangkla sa realidad ng tunay na mundo para laging maka-identify o maka-resonate ang manonood PERO kailangan bigger than life ang dating. Tweaked realities. (mapa drama man, advertising, o kahit sa balita)

Asong nangagat ng tao vs taong nangagat ng aso.
