Genre Study... Mockumentary
The genre of my opening sequence is going to be in the style of Mockumentary. A Mockumentary is a type of film or tv show where fictional events are shown in a Documentary format. They are often used to comment on current events. They can be in comedic, dramatic, sad... style. Mockumentarys are often mainly improviesd, this uunscripted style of acting helps to maintain a sense of relism to the film, so the audience can think its real.
My Mockumentary is about crack-head homeless clowns- i use the reallity of Crack-head homeless people on the streets of london, and i combine it with clowns to make it humerous and not as hard hitting as the reality of the matter. But my intention is to make people think about the real crackheads and sympathise with their suffering, try to look upon them more favourably next time they see one on the streets.
Here is a list of famous Mockumentaries: Borat, Forgotten Silver, Zelig, A Mighty Wind, Bruno, A Day Without a Mexican, All You Need is Cash, Come Fly with Me, Alien Autopsy etc....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsBBkemP-UQ
