How to Prevent Spoils

Hi everyone!

Today I want to talk about spoiling and how a famous drama series prevent spoiling.

I focused on Game of Thrones.

Performers and staffs of Game of Thrones avoid spoiling with all strength.

First, they didn't receive the script. Not all performers received the script. Production people tried to keep the number of people who knows the story small.

Second, people who engaged in the series raised the security of their emails. They had a two-step authentication system to their emails and proved that they are not hacked.

Third, performers had to sign their call sheet every day, and there was encryption on it. In the performer's call sheet, schedule shows details of which scene is taken and which actors are in the scene, and they have a code name. So, even if the progress sheet is leaked, if you don't know the key to unlock the code, you need to know which actor is in the shooting set and which actor is playing with the other characters and in the scene. 

Fourth, performers were "very" good at keeping the secrets. The performers were not spoiled even if they were often involved in the private sector after the other actors finished shooting.

Fifth, producers have also thrown in one or two fake scenes. Producers used to write fake scenes on the script and give them to performers. It is a scene where a certain character dies but as a big joke.

Finally, Game of Thrones fans doesn't really want to know what happens. As people became so addicted to drama series socially, it became legally allowed to anger against spoilers. In general, everyone really doesn't want to know. It absolutely made it easy to prevent spoilers.

Thinking the Game of Thrones and the ways how they prevent the spoiling, it not only the performers' and staffs' result of hard work but also the fans not wanting to know what happens next. To avoid the spoiling, everyone, such as performers, staffs and, also audience (!) who involves to a film or drama series have to work together and make the work the best.
