    The mockumentary that my group and I are doing is about advertising firemen. There will be a fireman in the video trying to recruit other people to work with him. We are basically going to mock their job. So far, the treatment is done and now we are working on the storyboard. I am extremely excited to see the other projects because I always find mockumentaries hilarious.

      I like your idea about advertising the firemen I think it really connects with the book. I can't wait to see your mockumentary and everyone else'. Great blog!

    For this project I am working with Thomas and Vinnie. Our mockumentary will be about an underground book club, mocking fight club. Beatty will be an inside man in the underground book club and people will bet on who will win a debate about which book is better. So far our project is going a little bit slow but we always find a way to get it done. We’ve made the storyboard a few times but accidentally deleted every time. We are going to film the whole mockumentary this weekend and I think it will go very well. I’m looking forward to watching everyone else presentation and seeing their ideas.

    For this project, I will be working with Isadora. We've decided that we will be doing the mockumentary of her dog, Bijou. She is a mix of a german shepard and husky so we thought that she would fit in perfectly as the roll of The Hound. The project is going slowly but we will be doing most of it on the weekend (recording). Some challenges that we will have to overcome are making Bijou's costume. We are going to try and make a metallic looking costume. I am definitely looking forward to seeing the other groups' projects because mockumentaries are usually funny so I would like to have a good laugh.

    Our mockumentary honestly isn't very far long, we're still trying to pick between the seashells and how to use them or how to use a book. The project's going pretty well so far,an we have plenty of ideas. As I said, we're kinda behind, but we're going to pick an idea very very soon and we'll be starting the treatment and storyboard, as soon as tomorrow. Catching up is probably a challenge we will have to overcome, as well as thinking of content for our mockumentary. It's pretty hard to come up with the right thing to say and do when you're filming something. I'm really excited to see what other people have done because this project is open to so many possibilities,and I'm curious to see what everyone has come up with!

    The mockumentary my group is making is a recruiting commercial for Firemen. While it is a recruiting commercial it will be in a infomercial style. Our project is progressing very slowly as today, all the work on our storyboard disappeared so we had to restart. Another issue is that one of the members in our group was away so we didn't really get to discuss it as a whole group.

    The mockumentary my group and I are working on is a MTV crib styled video. in my group, there is Caitlin and Haley We have not really done a lot of work, but e plan to finish the project soon. In our video, we will be interviewing firefighters at their work place and I think it will be very interesting. I cannot wait to work on it more and show the class our project when it is done.

    My partner and I have an awesome idea for our mockumentary and I am really psyched about finishing this project. We know what our product will be and we are about halfway through knowing exactly what we will say and do in this mockumentary. Our product is the ear thimbles 3.0 with all sorts of advantages. Our mockumentary will be half commercial and half interview with some flash backs in between. Some of the challenges will be that we will probably need to meet after school(my partner and I ) but I'm sure that we will work it out. Another challenge is that I don't know how to make the screen go black and white (for the flash backs) and I don't have a YouTube account. I know my partner and I will overcome these challenges because we will work together.

    For my mocumentry i am with hammed our idea is to create a helmet with attachable googles, the googles would let you see if the person has any books. During our video it there would be a person trying to cross the boarder with a book then the fireman will see and they will go on a chase and the man will try to hid it but the googles will find it. So far my project is going very well all we have left to do is to film. I am very exited to see what the other groups have thought of.

    I’m working with Caitlyn and Anj(olie) for this project and we’re spoofing MTV cribs. Our video will be a cribs-style tour of the firehouse from Fahrenheit 451. We’ve all been absent quite a bit lately, so we haven’t really gotten that much work done. However, my group has a lot of really solid ideas that we just sort of need to string together cohesively. I really like my Caitlyn and Anj and I’m quite optimistic our project will turn out well. I’m also pretty excited to see my classmates’ projects because we all just kinda cringe at each other in good nature.

    im working with Damian and Vinnie. im not sure what we have done but we are going to work on it over the weekend so it will get all done. Our idea is to have an underground book club just like fight club. there will be people in the middle arguing which book is better while there is people betting around them or something like that. i think if we do it right it will look good. once we properly start and give out the jobs it will get the ball rolling and it will all fall into place.

    I'm working with Haley and Anjolie and for this project we are making a video of the fire-station. It'll be filmed in a crib's style meaning that we'll give a tour of the fire-station. We have our main idea of what we want to do it and where we want to film it but it'd be great if we had a full class to work on it so that we could start filming. I'm excited to watch everyone else's films because for one, I could compare them to my our video and two just to laugh because I'm sure they'll be fun to watch.

    Our mockumentary project is about a newly recruited fireman, who on his first day goes to see his friend, who without realization opens his door without looking up from his book. You can guess the rest. We still need to film our project, but we've compiled some good ideas we had for our video. One issue is that we have to find an appropriate time to meet, but we couldn't find any this week so we'll only be able to film next week and weekend. Another *slight* barrier is that I have to get permission from my parents to make a compact makeshift flamethrower with a can of bug spray and lighter. I'm hoping I can get permission since it would be so cool for our video. I'm looking forward to finishing this project. As for other projects, I know that in this class the projects are extremely different and there can be some really interesting ones, and I'm waiting to see what this year holds for us.

    for this project I am with Camden and Daniel. our idea is to have a secret meeting being held by the government talking about how they need to abolish all books because people are getting to smart and that they need to brainwash them. meanwhile they call over a fireman and tell him to go and burn all the books without question. we still have most of the project to Finnish but it is looking good.

    Since Jolie posted her blog on Wednesday we have actually come a very long way. We have come up with a new idea, we have a really good plan, and we are almost ready to start filming! We were really behind because we both went to Stratford and might have completely forgotten about the project for a few days, but now I think we're back on track. Anyways, our mockumentary is going to be about the Salamander 2.0, a new and improved vehicle for the fire station. We are going to advertise it in a ‘real people, not actors’ kind of style, so we've still got quite a bit of script-writing to do, but we are getting together this weekend to work on it. I'm super excited to see how ours and everyone else's will turn out!

    As the mockumentary project due date is coming up soon. Jessica and I have chosen to make this mockumentary on the seashell earphones. I think that my project is going great so far because we just have to finish the storyboard and make the video. I think that some challenges that will have to overcome come is the editing and how we will find time to film the video at school. And I am looking forward to watching the other project because I want to see all the other ideas there are.

    For the mockumentary project, my partners are Daniel Cross and Gabriel Della Rocca. I haven't been there for the past couple of times that they did work on this project but I do have an understanding on what is going on. So here is what I know so far. The government is going to have a meeting about books, the books are getting around. More people are reading them and getting smarter. This means we will have to brainwash and burn all the books as soon as possible. The fireman break into dozens and dozens of hoses just burning the books and the houses. That is all I know about so far. I'm pretty sure there is a lot more but we haven't really gotten together that much over the past couple weeks. I think that the project is coming along nicely and it will not take too long to finish. Some of the problems that may stall us is the editing. I can already tell that the editing is going to be very, very long. Some of the props might be hard to find or get too. I guess we'll just have to work with what we have. I have to say, I'm pretty exited about watching the other projects. When I was in sec 1 with Mr.Katz, the videos were good, but not great because for most of us it was only like our 2nd time doing it. Now I feel like the videos will be a lot better and will have better content.

    For the mockumentary, I will be working with Ericka. Basically, our mockumentary is about the creation of Ear thimbles and the impact that it casted through the eyes of a girl. The girl is just like Clarisse, and refuses to try out the thimbles when they first come out. Eventually, people find her extremely weird for not sticking with the norm, and try to do all they can to get her to use the thimbles. So far, our project is going well and we are on track. All that we need to do is finish our storyboard(which is almost done) and start filming. Challenges that we have to overcome as a team is figuring out when and where we will film. I personally have a busy schedule, and it can be hard to figure out when we can possibly film. I am looking forward to watching the projects of the other groups, since I want to see their twists and ideas of the novel. It would be very interesting to see their points of view and originality.

    I'm working with Gabriel and Camden for our project. In our mockumentary there are two leaders deciding how they should control the population. So far we seem to be working fine, we have made plans to work out of school. The biggest thing left is the filming, this will be a big challenge to make it look good, but I am confident that my group will have the most visually pleasing video. I am curious of what the other groups have done for their project.

    our mockumentary is about a helmet with goggles that allows people to locate books. we're almost done the storyboard and we have the materials. the challenge would be for us to find a time to meet up and film but thats all. The most difficult part would be the editing as i'm not that experienced in editing videos. so we have to think about how we show that the goggles detect the books.

    I am working with Cassandra and Bryanna for this project. I am really excited to film it this week. So far everything is going well and Cassandra and Bryanna are coming up with fantastic ideas! We have finished the script and we're ready to go. We are going to making an infomercial trying to convince the population to join the firemen. So far so good!

    Basically Jessica summed it up very well, we will be recording my dog bijou, she is a German shepherd husky mix. We think that because of her breed, she fits the role perfectly. She will have a metallic costume made up of construction paper that we made. She's also going to walk around, find a house that has books in it and then we are planning on burning a small doll house and books or something similar to that.
