Due to my environment shift and lack of clarity with my previous mood board, the theme, title, and the plot of the overall video essay have changed. Additionally, my space of work had been limited to a single room due to the 14 day quarantine in Korea at my grandparents’. When there are other members present in the house, one can only stay in a single room. (The highlighted space is the room. The floor plan above is the floor plan of the room.)

The novel corona virus outbreak that had started in the city of Wuhan, has now become the fear of everyone, and it has been a year since.
Overtime, people have learned to become indifferent. The made their day. They separated themselves. Ate their own food, and spent time alone.
It was now an obligation to measure temperature, every morning and evening
I look back to those days in India.
More peace, more freedom, more sound, more room, more open, more light.
But it’s (India is) probably the same now.
The doors remain closed.
And the times, remain indifferent.

The play on the word “indifference” is interesting. What is significant about the indifference that you are commenting on? More research can be done to look into the psychology and reasons for indifference during the pandemic.
The different set locations presented a unique opportunity for you to explore your topic. Was it intentional to blur the perception of the two locations? Coordination between narration and visuals can be better synchronized to convey the intended similarities and differences across time and location. Narration is well-paced, and the audio complemented the theme well.
