Video Project – Manal Masood

For this project, Billie Jean, Yue and I decided to make some sort of a mockumentary. We watched a few “survival” videos where the participants are sent out in the wild to survive a few nights or so. We wanted to do something similar so we decided to make a mockumentary on surviving a night at the academic building. The video is supposed to be a trailer for a specific episode of the show. We filmed everything in pieces, where Yue and I shot some shots around the AB and then there was an interview piece where two “survivors” were interviewed. We chose Billie Jean as the survivor and I was the interviewer and Yue was the cameraman for the interview piece. For audio, Yue rented the equipments for us and I was the narrator for the trailer. For the site, we used the same logo as Cartoon Network and edited it making it into “Shanghai Network”. We decided to make tabs where one of them was for the trailer, the others were for further details, and meet the survivors page. After the post production, which was done by Billie Jean, I think our project turned out to be great. I definitely think this was my favourite thus far although it was far more stressful than the others. I feel like I learned a lot in terms of video making, and had a great time working on this project with my partners.
