'The Supply' Magazine Review Page (Step 1)

The first step for my review page was to create the suitable margins in order to include a title segment, review segment and photo segment. I think these margins and measurements look professional and all of the content can be placed in suitable areas.

'The Supply' Poster (Step 7)

For this step, I made some slight adjustments to the layout. In the bottom-right, I added some white boxes to the background of the logos that did not have one, to make it look more consistent. I also shifted my title and subtitle up slightly, as there was too much room being left open at the top of the page.

'The Supply' Poster (Step 6)

At the top of the poster, I have incorporated a subtitle above the main title. The subtitle reads, "He'll soon learn", which I feel is effective because of the subject of the show. The irony of this subtitle is of course that the children are the ones who are supposed to be learning.

'The Supply' Poster (Step 5)

The next step was to include the title in a suitable area on the poster. I thought that it would make sense to use the open area of the whiteboard at the top of the poster to place the title in a handwriting format, to suggest that it has been directly written onto the whiteboard itself.

'The Supply' Poster (Step 4)

I decided that a good background for this photo and scenario would be a whiteboard at the front of a classroom. Therefore, I found a large whiteboard within the school premises and took a photo of it to make it seem more genuine.

For my next step, I decided to experiment with the image adjustments that Photoshop has to offer. One of these adjustments is called 'Posterise' and immediately caught my eye. This adjustment gives the selected image a comic-book style look, which I think is unique and interesting for my poster.

'The Supply' Poster (Step 2)

The first change I made to my original image was to use the quick selection tool on the background of the image to remove it, which will allow me to place my own background behind the models. I then used the Blur and Smudge tools on the models where their images looked rough, in order to make them smoother and more professional.

'The Supply' Poster (Step 1)


A while ago, I did a photoshoot using these two models, and took photos of them in several different shots and situations. After careful consideration, I chose this photo as it captures the David vs. Goliath style that I have used as my inspiration.

'The Supply' Poster Flat Plan


Filming Process: Interviews







I have filmed three interviews, one with Mr. Spencer that we will have at the beginning of the short film, and two with pupils who are in the maths class; these will be shown during the maths class scene. I have used the traditional shot for interviews within mockumentaries, the medium close-up. The responses to the questions that they are being asked are designed to be humorous and satirical to match the theme of the short film.

Filming Process: Maths Class Scene










The maths class scene features several different types of shots. A lot of the scene is filmed as if we are looking from the point of view of either one of the students or Mr. Spencer himself, to engage more with the audience. The scene in the corridor after the pupil has been sent out develops the idea of the 180 degree rule as the camera focuses on either the pupil or Spencer using over-the-shoulder shots.

Filming Process: Introduction/Opening Sequence







For the introduction and opening sequence, we filmed many different types of scenes over several days. The introductory scene where we see Mr. Spencer walking towards the school and struggling to find a way in was recorded at a different time compared to when we filmed the clips within the opening sequence, which we then edited together afterwards. I especially like the title sequence showing the name of the short film on the whiteboard with the main character next to it. The extremely serious look of the supply teacher is designed to make the viewer laugh as it is a direct contrast to the intention of the short film.

Distribution of Roles

For the short film, me and my partner have decided on our roles for the project. I will focus more on the filming aspect while my partner handles the editing process. We chose these roles because my partner is more skilled with editing; he has made several videos for YouTube using the editing techniques we will need.

Mockumentary Call Sheet

This is a copy of the call sheet that we used during the filming of our mockumentary. As you can see, it displays each individual scene,  the filming schedule, its real-life location, any props we need, and also costumes and clothing.

Audience Questionnaire Results


Questionnaire Results from KKelso1

These are the official results of a questionnaire/survey that I conducted amongst a small group of people concerning my mockumentary idea. I asked them whether they found the idea interesting, what the name of the main protagonist could be, their age (to try and determine a primary target audience) and their favourite aspects of mockumentaries.
