Reflection

As someone who understood the context of my project and enjoyed watching both Community and The Office, I thought the message was very effective. It brought a sense of nostalgia from being reminded of a joke from years ago, but also showed it using clips from a different show. The clips were also humorous on their own, as they were very heavily recontextualized. It was nice to be reminded of the funny pranks and scenes that Jim and Dwight shared, and also seeing them played slower and to a dramatic song.

However, I can understand how this project might mean very little to someone who had never watched either show before. Especially if someone didn’t know the Community clip I was referencing, it might make very little sense. This is definitely a reason that my post on Reddit didn’t grow very quickly, since the point of the video is not immediately clear right from the beginning, and it is even more abstract if the viewer doesn’t know the backstory.
