Abstract

The spread of the COVID-19 has affected numerous industries throughout the globe, and these industries must adapt to these changes in order to sustain themselves. One of the industries that is affected greatly from this pandemic is the video production industry as it limits communications and mobility to produce a video due to the COVID-19 safety guidelines which causes some production works to be delayed or cancelled due to multiple restrictions that comes with this event. In order to overcome these limitations several methods can be done. This research is done to discuss on how video production is possible to be produce in times of COVID-19 pandemic despite the restrictions. This topic will discuss regarding the standard video production process which are pre-production, production, and post-production and how it is adapted during the pandemic with the limitations present. The video production that will be the focus of this research is the production of a documentary titled “My Reasons: For Coming to Malaysia” which was produced during the pandemic. It will discuss on how the idea came about, the planning, the talent recruitment, and the production. This research hopefully will be able to explain on how the video production industries can overcome the hindrances that was caused by this unfortunate event through adapting and creating new solutions by utilizing other alternatives that allows the flow of production to run smoothly.
