Answer

1)  He films the stages of building the wall.
2) Out of context, I'm not sure what you mean by this sentence.
3) ...who used to be notified of the truck's arrival....

Answer

I agree with Gail - thumbs up.  Focus more on your use of vocabulary.  If a native speaker doesn't understand a sentence, it is never because there are too many "of's".

Answer

Michael has a very good point. The use of inappropriate verbs is much more distracting that using too many 'of's.
