Intention

While going over my previous projects this semester, I realized that my Module 2 video was the one I really enjoyed and wanted to extend and refine. For that project, I did a mash-up between two TV shows, The Office and Community, and it parodied the standard romance tropes in many shows/movies (“long looks, stolen glances…”). I wanted to continue the idea of recontextualizing existing characters and scenes, and I decided that an edited movie trailer would give me a storyline to follow. I chose an action movie since I wanted to try out something new. My main goals were to create an accurate imitation of the original trailer and to create an enjoyable mash-up video that I could share online. My Module 2 project didn’t “go viral” as I was hoping it would, so I was hoping to create a more focused video that would make sense to both targeted fan groups and random viewers browsing the web.
