A short film about skipping exams in 2020 and a student's view of this historic event that will leave a long-lasting mark on our generation. The sudden closure of schools was an unprecedented event for young people in my cohort due to the fact we had created a path in our minds of how are lives in education would unfold. A comedic supernatural element was included in this video through a person of the future warning me that the final exams would be cancelled, the shock that comes with seeing this coinciding with the mental response to having your pre-planned path in life suddenly changed. This is reflected by the eerie music which aims to suggest the psychological challenge that accompanied with a young person's reality being so drastically changed in this pivotal moment of their lives.
