Coronavirus!

What a week! But not in a good way :(

The world practically shut down in a matter of a week. Schools are closed until April 15 and everyone is social distancing. This definitely has had an effect on my entire project. 

With everybody in self quarantine, the schedule for the production of No GTA as well as my digipak photoshoots has been thrown off severely. My entire project relies on the photoshoots and productions that Alan and I can put together. To tackle this problem I thought of two feasible routes that I can take to finish this project. 

1. Contactless shooting

This would consist of going on location with the least amount of people as possible. Only the necessary cast and crew would be involved and we would take every necessary precaution to avoid contamination of any sort. Cinematography style would be somewhat different from my original plan, however that's the easiest part for me to accommodate to. I would have to use longer lenses to shoot from farther away while still having a tight shot.  

This route is very risky. We would have a short timeframe for production, however it is the only way I can have footage that I really like and know I can use. 

2.  Use other peoples footage

This would consist of asking my cast to film themselves. I would ask Alan to film himself rapping and dancing along to No GTA, as well as to take some pictures in an exterior location. Taking this route would significantly reduce the quality of my production. The quality of my work definitely matters to me and it's something I don't want to put at risk. I know that if I use my equipment and if I have full control over what I shoot I will achieve what I want. However this is the safer route to take in regards to Covid-19 and the prevention of contamination. 

I think these are both feasible options. I will have to get in contact with Alan and everyone in my crew to see if they would be willing to shoot. If not I'll ask them to film themselves and make something out of the footage I receive.
