Postponing the Editing

     Due to events out of my control, it has become more difficult for my group and me to finish the film and produce our final product. That is because a virus which is now a pandemic called coronavirus. This disease is a strain of the flue. And the reason why it is so dangerous is because of its higher mortality rate than the average flue. On top of that, it is highly contagious and we do not have a cure for it. This disease first started in China and has made its way across the world. So, because it is killing so many people and we do not have a vaccine for it our government is taking precautionary measures.
     Where I live, in Florida, schools have been temporarily postponed until April 16th. This means that we have to do online school. Transitioning from the different ways to teach has been a bit confusing but we are getting used to it. However, having said that, not much has changed for this class because it was primarily online in the first place. This makes it easier but we still have to film outdoors which is an obstacle. Because, some of my group members' parents are apprehensive letting their kids out because of how contagious the virus is. On top of that, a lot of places have closed down due to the virus. This doesn't affect my group as much as it does others but, if conditions get worse, we might not be able to reshoot at the cemetery. And we also have probably not even seen the worst of this virus. So if it does get worse and school is postponed for a longer period of time it leads us to question what we will do with the Cambridge exams. And if they get exempted like the state exams will we get the credit. These are all obstacles presented to us because of the coronavirus.
