I was in the Mockumentary group with Kayla, Val, Elisa, and Hilary. They pretty much said everything that needed to be said.

I picked this group because I wanted to show the class in a funny way, showing our evolution from a handful of students to our own culture.  It showed how we all shared experiences, learned new things and applied them to the real world (ex. houndstooth) and how dramatically Paul can exit a classroom.

One thing I noticed in the movie (that kind of bothered me) was the scene where we all come in "for the first day" and we're supposed to be sitting down, looking slightly uncomfortable at being in a new place, picking the best seat in the house, and all that.  It didn't look like that.  It looked like we were coming into class and sitting down to have a fun chat. As Kayla mentioned, we smiled too much. I thought we all looked too comfortable and familiar. But that was because we are comfortable and familiar, we've formed our culture and (because we're not the greatest of actors) we can't pretend like it didn't happen. It's like we were told a story, the story of the emergence of our class culture. We can't take it back, we've heard it now, and it's changed us.
