In early 2020, the first case of COVID-19 virus from China began to spread throughout the world. I fled from China to New York, and surprisingly had to experience the fear and inconvenience of the epidemic a second time. On March 11’th it was declared a pandemic by the WHO. We never imagined that the virus spread so quickly. In just a few weeks from the first case in New York that occurred half a month ago, New York became the most severely affected area. Tens of thousands of people were infected on a day to day basis. Already thousands of people have died, and there are still undiagnosed cases that remain hidden dangers.This major pandemic has caused huge losses to the world and people, including life, health, freedom and art.
In order to control the pandemic, the country had to make the choice to reduce social activities, which meant restricting our lives. This was not only historically significant, but also a huge change to the norms of the everyday people. As ordinary people, we could only stay in our homes to save ourselves, in order to not cause trouble for others who are fighting on the frontlines. Being in quarantine, means restrictions to the activities that we love, which includes outdoor photography. This could impact our mental health and I want to investigate this.
I want to take my personal case as an example to record my life status in a “cage”. I will question how my life has changed, how I and the people around me worry about the psychological activities, how we are spending our time in the absence of outdoor activities and entertainment. I will also look into the environmental changes and impacts in my city. After watching this recording, I hope to create a relatable experience to those who are also impacted by this pandemic. I will create a memory that will be an important fragment in people’s lives.
In terms of equipment, I will use the GoPro small video camera and DSLR digital camera SONY A7 3 to shoot the content, and later use PHOTOSHOP and iMove to edit. Use color to make a clear contrast between the time period before and after the outbreak Change in the environment.
