They choose eating at home most of the time because eating at outside may not safe. If people want to go out, they need to wear a mask and bring some disinfecting tissues. They may worry about whether the amount of mask is enough. Some people may use the mask more than one time. However, it is not recommended to reuse it many times. Because the effectiveness will decrease and become useless. But someone may reuse the old mask again and again even though they understand a mask should not wear more than one time. Since there is no other way to solve this problem on that period. On that time, many people need to spend many time and money to buy masks for their family as it is very expensive, and the amount is little in every pharmacy.

Your film has documented various aspects of life during the pandemic. But your research is based on one government source. Are you missing references? Regarding your topic, how do you define happiness? On the other hand, what makes people sad?
The visuals and narration can be better coordinated, and be more intentional about camera techniques, from shifting from one subject to another. The whiteboard medium as a format can be better utilized as well, by pasting more content to make it more impactful. Limited by one singular source, the narration needs more development.
There is potential for more originality in foregrounding the issue, for example, by using the mask. Investigate more layers into the mask. Like you said, there is a new invention of reusable masks to replace disposable masks. How would you use the mask to reorganize your video to strengthen your theme of happiness?
