Representation Filming:

Me and Joe spent two days of filming and both days were successful: we had filmed a lot of comical scenes that follow the guidelines of a mockumentary. 

We both were happy with the footage we filmed and came up with fresh, spontaneous ideas on set that we were able to capture.

Final edit:

Representation Evaluation:

Overall, this was a successful mini project: we followed the guidelines, made a product we were both happy with, we screened the mokumentary on the deadline. 

I believe having just one other partner gave me control and order to this project, which is why it was more successful than the rest than the projects i believe. My goal to show a mixed cultural representation is something i also believe to be a success, i have made a character that is a mix of influences of the well known British characters like roll safe and even Ricky Gervais, as well as american rappers such as Kodak Black. This does make the mokumentary more accessible i believe.

What i learnt is to next time make a more structured guideline or script to follow because the amount improvisation did cause the mokumentary to be a lot more one dimensional than i wanted: there were too many nonsensical jokes rather than more clever ones. I did want to make the humour more diverse, but sadly due to a flaw in my planning this was not achieved. 

The post production was pretty smooth because of how easy it is to intentionally to make something look bad. I had barely touched with colouring the video because in documentary realism is important. I am not saying colouring is not used because it clear it is when you watch something like planet earth, you can see there is a lot of saturated colours. I was using the roll safe video as reference and it did not look like there was much colouring done. Most the editing was just picking the best footage and placing it in away to give a narrative that can be understood .
