Chronicles

Project Objectives

  • To combat the issue of miscommunication and panic caused by social media.
    • We straightened everything out by directly communicating and asking questions to the individuals who have first-hand knowledge and experience on the situation.
  • To provide further information on the situation through interviews.
    • Through the questions we asked, we received additional news and updates on various industries.
  • To give an opportunity for the viewers to see the bright side of the pandemic as well by conversing on both areas.
    • This season of Chronicles also focused on the bright side of the pandemic, as especially in these trying times, focusing on the positive is necessary.
  • To help understand how different individuals reacted, handled, and progressed in this situation and what they are doing right now.
    • By focusing on various aspects, we could see multiple scenarios at once.
