Words: 21

Synopsis:

Our film is a "Mockumentary" based around numerous teenage boys, on a mission to reunite their clan "HYDC", it will take the viewer through an ordinary weekend of playing video games, bad jokes and obscure film references, as the viewer finds out about what happened to the clan, the video games they play and their lack of a social life, showing the highs, lows and the mountains they must climb to once again reclaim their prestige. It takes a comedic stance on documentaries and the stereotypes associated with gamers.

Why did we choose this idea over the other ones we had?

All of our ideas were for comedy films, so we both sat down and discussed which idea we could produce that would be funny, but also well structured in terms of camera shots and the use of editing. At first we lent towards our idea of raging in a game and snapping the disc, because it would be interesting to film and would need some clever editing. We stuck with this idea until we saw "King of Kong: a Fistful of Quarters". Immediatly, this was an influence for us both and swayed use towards our idea of a "Mockumentary". Not only could we add humour to our "Mockumentary", but we could parody stereotypical features of documentaries, as well as inculding clever editing and camera work. What sealed this idea for use was the idea that we could involve some of our friends to help with the filiming, and this is when we decided to continue with this idea.
