So this is a very rough cut. I’m still missing interviews, which I am going to go back for on a less busy and windy day, but I wanted to at least string together the b-roll and the bones of the video. I didn’t put any text in yet, even though that was my original plan, but I’m putting a rough script/outline below to give an idea of the story and structure. I can’t decide whether I should narrate the piece or just have a few different lines of text throughout the video to move the piece along, so I’m looking for feedback on that specifically.
Besides the opening shot, please ignore the shots of the jazz band/my shoes/the black. These will ideally be where interviews are place over.
Outline:
In March of last year, the Metropolitan Museum of Art closed, along with the rest of New York.
The pandemic has hit the arts and performance industry the hardest.
But since August, 2020, the Met, and many other museums in New York City have re-opened to the public.
Like everywhere else in the state, masks and social distancing are now required, but the museum has implemented many changes, most notably a limit on capacity.

The toll of the pandemic can be seen.
But despite the restrictions, the museum is still bustling.
