Main idea

Our main idea is to shoot a short film, which is going to be a mockumentary. A mockumentary includes traits of a documentary such as interviews, voiceovers, etc. Our film will be shot completly serious, but about a rediculous subject.

our mockumentary will be simon showing the life style he lives and how he lives and copes with life on a day to day basis.
within the mockumentary we would like to include scenes such as:

• following simon round the house, school and possibly local areas in which he goes to. these will involve  mainly tracking shots.
• interviews with simon and close friends and relatives. These will mostly be fixed shot reverse shots.
• Shots of simon coping with tasks around the house
