1. Mockumentary
Michael Bay first romantic comedy
Friday, 24 September 2010
2. Our Idea
• Explosions and the US army every film that
Bay has done has these to things in them so
we think that it would be funny to
document michael bay or an bay like
character attempting to make something
that you wouldn't see him in like an
romantic comedy

5. evaluation of results
• By the looks of things are video will appeal
to way under 1/4 of the public, But this is
no indication of how well received it will be
on the internet

7. generic conventions of
an mockumentary
• Amateur camera style
• No real interaction with cameraman
• The comedy is observational
• People don’t acknowledge that there being funny
• Sometimes there an additional camera on an tripod which is mainly used
when being interviewed
• Awkward moments work better than slapstick
