About
This is a short film that is shot for the class “Communication Lab” at New York University Abu Dhabi, Spring 2021. This movie is shot within 15 minutes and is edited within 15 minutes.
Watching the video above, you cannot move forward or backward to see the video. Instead, you have to watch the video without any control except the play/pause control. This shows the restrictions we all face during the pandemic.
The film portrays a common image during the pandemic: Zoom University. Due to the lockdown, every activity is moving on to Zoom. We cannot attend in-person class, thus the film is shot through Zoom. We cannot gather, thus we play and hang out with each other through Zoom. We cannot do even the simplest activity such as borrowing a pencil or an eraser in person, thus we portray doing them through Zoom. Everyone is stuck within the box of Zoom.
