Editing blog: COVID-19

Due to the widespread pandemic of COVID-19 our school district has closed schools. This week we would’ve continued to film more of the required shots for our Media Studies project. Social distancing has unfortunately prevent our plans for filming. Our entire community has felt the effect of this virus. Because of it’s ability to quickly spread most families have chosen to self quarantine. By not being able to leave and staying 6 feet apart, editing seems like our only option. Issues that may occur with editing is the software. Because schools are closed students must do all school work at home. When in AICE Media Studies we use Pinnacle Studios which has been downloaded to all our school computers. Some students only have their work saved on the school computer. For those students who have their work and are working from home, other editing software includes iMovie. Some issues that may make the film worse is the noticiarlos difference in editing format. My group is still editing and cutting our shots together. The bad news is Cambridge has said AICE exams have not been affected. Because the AICE exams are still on the same days we must continue to prepare as of there will be no cancellation. It is really unfortunate considering all the other circumstances but it is just the reality. The good news is my class has been preparing. We started our final task in January and know how to prepare on our own. Our teachers are also available through online emails incase we need them. Attached is a screenshot of our final task being edited in iMovie.
