Authenticity on Campus

By Kate Yadush

I decided to create a video that would fit right in with the Portrait of Jason. I chose to have my friend Ana act similar to the way Jason did in the video. For example, the obnoxious laughing, the rambling, and the drinking (water). I also tried to incorporate the same cinematic tone/mood. Similar to the Portrait of Jason, I included zooming in and out, blurriness, and a black screen. I didn't ask the questions on camera because it is really just Jason talking in the film. The interviewers would say a word or two here and there. I adapted the original work while putting my own spin on it. I made it similar but original so it can feel like it can be placed into the film without being out of place. I chose the Portrait of Jason because it has an authenticity to it that really fits into the theme of our class of getting real.
