Take 2

It's not everyday a global pandemic arises, but hey, here we are.

The world has seemed to cease all movement, and because of that so has our group's progress with the portfolio project. I know it's been a while, so let me remind you guys what we had left on the agenda to complete our film opening known as Showtime.

  1. Purchase props and costumes
  2. Pick a shooting location
  3. Revise pre-production materials (script, storyboard, etc.)
  4. Film the opening
  5. Edit
After some discussion with my group, it was clear that with these new-founded obstacles we are going to be unable to successfully execute this idea. Almost all shops are closing down until this COVID-19 disaster is resolved, and the current motto of life is "social distancing". Most of my group members, including myself, are officially self-quarantined at home, so meeting together to film is a problem on its own.  

What this means for our opening is that we have to start fresh and create a great opening on a much smaller scale. A month's worth of progress lost, but that's just how life is I guess. This means that for this new opening we must consider filming different portions in our own homes, possibly eliminate the use of actors, and solely use the materials, equipment, props, and costumes we have available to us at the moment. To be honest, we have no clue what to do, but not enough time to spend too long forging this new idea. All that is left is to start and look ahead to this new road we have found ourselves on.  Let the brainstorms commence.
