Corona Virus, How is it effecting the Industry
Due to the pandemic, most countries Including New Zealand have been in lock down,
This has had an effect on many industries including the Film, Animation and Gaming Industry.
Cinema chains are making collections of films for cheep, to encourage people to stay at home, gaming companies have also made some game available for free or have lowered the price by a lot,
Articles (What I gathered from them):
Many new Zealand film companies were unable to film during Alert level 4, Many Live action films and project had to be put on hold, to keep people safe, examples are shows such as Short-land street had to be put on hold, however, during Level 3 some filming has started back up.
The lack of filming during level 4 had a blow onto the job availability and money of the film industry, it has also made quite a blow on cinema's as they are not able to stream movies for public viewing, while online streaming has replaced this for the public it continues to have a negative effect on cinemas.
