Major Setback to Our Entire Project

The outbreak of the Coronavirus, COVID-19, has been sudden and very insane. We have been unable to attend school because of this outbreak in hopes that the spread of it can decrease. As of today, our county announced that we will not be going back until April 15. That date is subject to change depending on how badly this virus becomes in our state, nationwide, and globally.

This virus has been a major setback for many people. It has had an impact on nearly every aspect of our lives, and it will only get worse before it gets better. Aside from being restricted from attending school, many limitations have been put in place here locally, as well as nationwide. Many places are closing down and have restrictions on closing and opening times. Certain areas in our country are being placed on lock-downs, where individuals are only allowed to go to and from certain places. Many people are taking precautions to avoid social interaction so that they do not contract the virus. It is becoming a very serious matter, because if not taken seriously, it can become detrimental. With the restrictions being put in place, I have concluded that completing this project will be very difficult. Should the virus spread further and get ultimately worse, my group as well as others, will have a very difficult time re-shooting certain scenes. This is because we could possibly be under lock-downs and many places will be shut down entirely. As far as editing and re-editing, there is hope for that. Thankfully, we are in an age of advanced technology. Internet and all of the technology we have has made it possible for everyone to stay connected and in contact. If we are not able to re-shoot the scenes we need to re-shoot, then we will have to work with what we have. We can continue to edit the footage we do have and discuss over the phone and email, etc. any changes we feel need to be made. Aside from completing the final task film, we also need to complete the CCR. The good thing is that it can be done all at home. Once my group and I finish the film, I will start working on that final task for this project. I really hope and pray that this virus can come to an end quickly. It is causing major chaos and turmoil within our society and our lives.
