How Can We Possibly Re-Film?

The recent outbreak of the Coronavirus has been so sudden. As I discussed in my previous blog, the state of Florida, in which I live, has been having many positive cases of this virus. It has cast so much chaos, anxiety, and fear upon our society. Due to fear and anxiety, this pandemic has become a race for survival. Stores and supermarkets are running low, and even completely out of, basic survival supplies. People have rushed to and from stores in efforts to rack up on supplies. This rush is out of panic. The media - including social media platforms, television, and the news - has played a huge role on placing fear on individuals during this time of crisis. While it is no doubt a serious issue we are facing, information is being blown out of proportion and causing people to become scared. We are becoming the cause of our own suffering. Soon enough should this virus get even worse than it already is, we will be placed on lock-down. This is already being seen in other states and countries, all in hopes to stop the spread of this virus. So, should this become the case for our state, it will be bad for us all. There will be limited to no supplies for people to use because we would have already bought it all. We must slow down and ration our supplies. We must come together and have hope that this will end soon in order to stay calm and act logically.

Our state is not on lock-down just yet. There have, however, been many policies implemented in the hopes to slow and stop the spread of this virus. The governor of the state of Florida, Governor DeSantis, has spoken to the people of Florida many times within the past week, one time being shown in the picture below. In each of these times he has spoken, he has addressed many policies and actions that are being taken. He has announced that many restaurants, stores, and other things must close at certain times if not completely. Movie theaters have been shutting down in all of Broward County. Not only is this harming the economy, but the movie industry completely. Many new movies that have been released pr are being released around this time will not be able to be viewed, thus causing the productions to lose value and money. The policies being put in place are also greatly hindering students' abilities to move forward with school work. It is very difficult during this time to meet up with the members of my group to re-film the scenes that need re-filming. We must take measures to ensure our health and stay away from this virus, and social distancing has been one of the main things leaders in power have been encouraging. Our health and safety is the main priority during times like this. Should we go on complete lock-down, we would not be able to re-film whatsoever. This will not stop us, though. We will continue to work our best towards completely this project in the best manner possible, despite the horrible issue at hand. We will work with what we have and result with the best outcome considering the circumstances we are under.
