So, for my Major project, I'm collaborating with Mel! I've never worked with Mel before and I'm really excited as we have some great ideas and have come up with some really creative and original scenarios for our Project!
We have decided to make a 3 part mini series of 5 minute episodes and are looking at the idea of producing a mockumentary style programme about everyday life in a busy cafe/coffee shop.
We have sourced a cafe that we would like to film in and plan to discuss this with the owner next week. We have been thinking about characters as well as content, and have tried to take some inspiration from other mockumentary style comedies series suchs as....
'Twenty Twelve'
Starring Hugh Bonneville, Jessica Hynesand Amelia Bullmore, the programme was a spoof on-location documentary (or mockumentary) following the organisation of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London.
'The Office'
Created, written, and directed by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, the programme is about the day-to-day lives of office employees in the Slough branch of the fictitious Wernham Hogg Paper Company.
'Trollied'
Trollied is a British sitcom about employees in a fictional supermarket named "Valco", which debuted on Sky1 on 4 August 2011
'Come Fly With Me'
Come Fly with Me is a British mockumentary television comedy series created by and starring Matt Lucas and David Walliams.
These have given us a great idea of what a successful mockumentary needs. Hopefully, we can take our ideas and put them into a series of this style. We are going to have another meeting this week to discuss our ideas again before we speak to any contributors. We would ideally like to start casting for our characters as soon as possible because we have set ourselves a tight filming schedule with this semester. It would be ideal for us to start filming in week 8, which means we only have about 6 weeks left to plan, write our scripts, form a crew and cast our characters.
