Should I have a general script when doing a Mocumentary, or set-up and block the scenes and have the actors improv their characters?

A behind the scenes, riveting look at Tyrone (pickle) Johnson
The great craft services cook in the mid 1960?s. How his exuberant personality and delicious chili/brownies boosted the morale of everyone on set. (Pickle) Johnson, often regarded as the ?Father of Craft services? is retired now living with his three dogs on location.
Something like that
Some mockumentaries are fully scripted (The Office for example) but I suspect you're thinking of the Spinal Tap variety. They didn't have an actual script but had an outline of the kind of scenes and what those scenes would contain. They shot those scenes over and over and over and apparantly had over 300 hours of footage to edit from which is both a curse and a blessing.

300 hours may be a lot of repetition (Note they didn't create a DVD with 300 hours of deleted scenes) and probably isn't the standard.
