Production postponed and Plans changed

     My group has kept up production after some obvious initial edits since our peer review. We refilmed our car crash scene with additional footage. Then that scene was re-edited it into our film. After, we wanted to watch it again and assess what else should be done.
     My group decided we would try to refilm some of the interior car scenes and improve the lighting. We were planning to re-film them late last week but then the COVID-19 outbreak stopped our plans. The coronavirus has canceled school unexpectedly for us. We are unable to borrow equipment from the school like our camera, tripod, and SD card reader. The laptops with our editing software are also stuck at school. This has been quite stressful for our group because we need to address this problem and change our schedule. We had a group video chat to discuss this issue. Nothing much was solved as all of the details regarding this outbreak and the school haven't been released quite yet. At this time the state of Florida is recommending staying at home. Also, there is a curfew at 9, and the scene in question needs to be filmed at night. At this moment we don't have enough time to meet, film, and get home by the state-mandated curfew. We do not know if Cambridge will postpone or change anything regarding this component in the exam but, we are acting as if the original due date still applies.
     Our group has noticed the global halt in film production. Most of the world can not gather in large groups. Large crews are required on set each day to produce, film, and execute a professional production. The film industry as a whole is feeling the negative effects of the Coronavirus pandemic.
