Re- edit Blog: The Spread of COVID19

          Due to the rapid spreading of the coronavirus, schools have remained closed. There was a recent announcement that schools will be closed until the end of April AT LEAST. Individuals are now recommended to stay indoors and resist contact with all other individuals to stop the spread of this deadly disease. My groupmates and I decided to respect these new rules and regulations. As a result of this, my group and I were not able to reshoot leading to the conclusion of not being capable of re-editing any new footage. Although this was upsetting, we all knew it was for the best of our safety. Soon after this news was discovered, my group and I all joined into a group call as we knew this would be much safer then if we were to meet up in person. In our call, we discussed our opinions and future ideas. After some discussion, my group and I realized that the few editing mistakes found within are film could be easily fixed without re-shooting or re-editing. We knew that it wasn't going to be as good as actually re-shooting and re-editing, but it was all we could do to improve our film during the pandemic.

          When my group and I went back and reviewed our film, we realized that our film met all the necessary requirements. Our film only had a few small issues that could easily be improved without having to have new, raw footage. When we were in our group call, each of us decided to take one task to improve the quality of our film. My task was to make sure all of the transitions used were smooth and fit with each scene. Jade's task was to make sure that the title sequences remained on the screen for the correct duration of time. Sophia's task was to make sure that title sequences were in the correct order. Last but not least, Katia's task was to make sure that none of the scenes were burry and that they were all in the correct order. After we all completed our tasks, the quality and outcome of our film improved significantly. We were very happy that we decided to split these final tasks between all of us as it made this process much easier. Once we would finally say that our film was completed, we were very proud of the amazing film that we were capable of producing during this dangerous and devastating time.
