I think today’s class was super productive in terms of generating ideas. I am clearly not expressing my ideas in a way in which people can grasp the concept. My aim is to create a film styled in documentary filming but has no intention of reflecting realty or any specific social group but instead to […]

The idea I’ve come up with for my short film is the concept of a Mocumentary; a film with the stylist techniques of a documentary but with a scripted story-line that is at times exaggerated and hard to believe would be true, creating a comical element.
