This documentary records the long routine of avoiding virus to be brought home. Starting from the moment one steps into the building, one becomes fully aware not to bring any virus home. The lengthy procedure is basically disinfecting everything as much as possible and avoiding contact. The split-screen shows a comparison between the two routines of arriving home before and during the pandemic outbreak. The added cleansing procedures in the short arrival finally allows one to sit comfortably on the sofa.

The conceptual presentation makes sense, especially with the top-bottom split screen. Appreciate the consideration of time. The storyboard turned and stretched out a quotient activity into a long episode of micro-actions. Adding articles/reports that look at how people spend time differently now or the interaction within the domestic space would enhance your narrative.
