Re editing blog

These past few weeks, things have been extremely different. Due to an increase in COVID-19 cases in our country, a lot of things have changed. A few rules have been put out by the government, including the "social distancing" rule. We are not allowed to leave our homes unless it is for necessities. It all feels unreal and has affected everything. One of those things is our schooling. Our AICE Media Studies class' assignments, along with other classes, are all now completely online. Along with this class' assignments goes our final project. We were not able to finish editing together before the global crisis happened and now we can't see each other. Because of this, our group member who had the software we are editing on has been the only one able to finish.
        Despite the struggles, we have been able to overcome them and conclude working on our 2-minute video product. Before we turn in anything, we have to work on our Creative Critical Reflection or CCR. This is a video presentation answering four questions. The questions are all regarding our final project and the process of creating it. My group and I all decided to each do ours in an interview style. We thought it would be a fun and creative way to go about answering the questions. The video has to be a minimum of 15 minutes, so we have to plan it out perfectly. After we complete that, we will be able to turn everything in. That will be the end of our experience with this class.
