Gridlock

We are looking at a video that starts with a cartoon animation of a social media post by ‘Amelia’ featuring a picture of herself and Jody standing by a pool, with Amelia holding a gold medal, and a crowd in the background. The image has 109 likes and a caption saying, ‘#tbt This pic of me and @JODY from two years ago at the All-City Swim Meet!’

Following this, the video simulates comments under the post; Jody comments, ‘UGH I hate that pic, take it down PLEEZ,’ to which Amelia replies, ‘Don’t worry you look great.’ Then, Katie adds, ‘Yeah don’t be like that,’ and Haley says, ‘She just doesn’t want us to remember her braces,’ prompting Katie to add, ‘Yeah remember what we used to call her,’ and then Haley shouts, ‘GRIDLOCK!’ followed by an ‘LOL.’

The scene then changes to a messaging interface, with a profile picture of Jody, who messages, ‘HEY HALEY AND KATIE ARE PILING ON THAT PHOTO AMELIA POSTED – CAN U SAY SOMETHING PLZ?’ The video ends with a screen showing black hands holding a tablet, displaying the text ‘How can you HELP?’ against a purple background. The sounds include what seems like typing, messaging pings, and text message alerts.
