Beast Games (2024)

Unpacking "Beast Games" - The Spectacle of Reality TV

  • 8

Beast games is a competition reality show which involves more than a thousand contestants jogging their booth and their body for a grand prize of $5 million. The latter contributes to the show’s rich arsenals to keep the audience gripped as it ratchets up the levels of commitment and strategic thinking of participants.

The primary theme focuses on survival and competition, and the best reminder of the early reality show with the gladiatorial sense caused by exorbitant money reward. As for me, the problem of the show is concentrated on human desire and the things people are ready to do in order to reach the top.

The hosts of the show are quite charismatic and dynamic, they do not have to over-annoy the viewers and the contestants. Most critically important is light humor, comic performances by two charismatic hosts, which timely gives the audience a break from the competition scenes.

Directly, Tyler Conklin and Kate Douglas-Walker effectively handle numerous contestants and present a clear and comprehensible show. It becomes possible only if the vision of the show keeps viewers interested and is a success this time; in the technical aspect, we see the emotional side, the spectacle, and heart-rending moments are in the show.

Further, the adrenaline-pumping soundtracks make the show correspond to the vision heightened stakes of interest based on the competition sequences.

The vision used by the cinematographer of using dynamic camera angles and brisk panning makes action But sometimes the jumps of the camera are too excessive.

The location of App Game has been designed magnificently, and the addition of elements increases the scale of the beast games. From the gigantic stage, which is the coliseum, to the various exotic locations, each venue’s premise is to establish how much more the contenders can endure.

While the show does not rely on CGI or spectacle if compared to other reality competition programs, its use of CGI and spectacle is appropriately employed for the moments needed for viewers to feel the tension during some of the most critical moments of the games.

The use of the editing also cannot be The editing team has ensured that episodes are well produced to leave the audience breathless and game as well.

The show moves from one scene to another with keen vigillo, mirroring the nature of the competition itself. Every episode progresses with great energy and tension, knowing the pattern well, strategically breaking up the intensity with moments of buildup to characters and plots.

The language used by the hosts is witty and humorous, easing the high stakes of the show. The primitive aspect is admirably illustrated, but the critics’ remarks are at least useful if only for sheer sarcasm periodically needed to refresh.

While Beast Games provide the lesson of triumphant spectacle, some might wonder if it is sacrificed depth of human story for the conflict necessary to so charge. Moreover, some elements within episodes are virtually identical, which may turn off the audience that is expecting something more diverse. Thrill, empathy need is evoked and a highly skilled story telling method employed making any audience follow a course. But, at times, it does tends to be noisy and boring or rather time-wasting at times, perhaps due to repetitions which may not be very interesting to the viewers in the long run.
