COVID-19 Discussion For this discussion post, you’ll need to do a make sure that you review the guidelines outlined in the FilmFlorida-FF-Clean-Healthy-Set-Recommendations-05-01-2020.pdf Download FilmFlorida-FF-Clean-Healthy-Set-Recommendations-05-01-2020.pdf before responding. The prompt will provide you with a chance to reflect on how you feel that the current pandemic has changed the media landscape. Step 1: Review the Film Florida Clean & Healthy Set Recommendations linked above Step 2: Respond to the following discussion questions by Thursday at 11:59 pm. Discussion Prompt: Do you feel that meeting these guidelines will negatively or positively impact TV production? Why? Are there any additional steps not mentioned in the guidelines that you feel would help prevent the spread of COVID-19? (IF YOU’VE WORKED IN PRODUCTION ALREADY SINCE THE PANDEMIC STARTED): What are the major challenges that you’ve noticed on set now that COVID-19 guidelines are in place? Step 4: Reply to at least one of your classmates’ responses DISCLAIMER: Please keep this discussion focused on the importance of health & safety practices in media production and do not bring politics into the discussion. Also, please be sensitive to the fact that we may have students in the class who have literally lost their jobs and/or entire career due to the consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Peer post: Do you feel that meeting these guidelines will negatively or positively impact TV production? Why? Although guidelines and health policies are crucial to stop the spread of the virus, I feel that the way a production company conducts itself will make a major impact on the outcome of the movie. In reference to the FilmFlorida recommendations, I do feel that some of them could negatively impact TV production. I think that castings are best done in person, as you can thoroughly see someone’s facial features and how they present and carry themselves for a specific character, and can be done safely by requiring a negative COVID-19 test prior to castings. This is also the same for scouting, as lots of the most successful scouting is done through face to face meeting. Another aspect is wardrobe and fittings, which I believe can be done safely in person, and if done remotely causes the risk of inefficiencies. 2. Are there any additional steps not mentioned in the guidelines that you feel would help prevent the spread of COVID-19? Aside from wearing masks and distancing, I think it would be a lot more efficient for everyone, if all of the crew and actors were tested each week of being on set, requiring a negative test within 72 hours of entering the set, or proof of vaccination. This could eliminate factors such as remote castings or unnecessary protocols, and ensure safety for everyone on the set and provide the reassurance that everyone is either tested or vaccinated. 3. (IF YOU’VE WORKED IN PRODUCTION ALREADY SINCE THE PANDEMIC STARTED): What are the major challenges that you’ve noticed on set now that COVID-19 guidelines are in place? I have not worked in production since the pandemic has started, but I have been to a few castings, and it there are definitely challenges that some may not consider, but play a major role in the experience. Firstly, not being able to communicate with fellow actors and having to isolate before you are called, definitely changes the mood of the experience. Second, for my personal experience, masks were worn during the casting and only taken off for about a minute, and while I was doing my monologue, I had my mask on, hiding important facial expressions. The experience is definitely different, and I hope it can get back to normal soon.

Reference List: Basic Rules
Note: This page reflects the latest version of the APA Publication Manual (i.e., APA 7), which released in October 2019. The equivalent resource for the older APA 6 style can be found here.
This resource, revised according to the 7th edition APA Publication Manual, provides fundamental guidelines for constructing the reference pages of research papers. For more information, please consult the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, (7th ed.).
Note: Because the information on this page pertains to virtually all citations, we’ve highlighted one important difference between APA 6 and APA 7 with an underlined note written in red.
Formatting a Reference List
Your reference list should appear at the end of your paper. It provides the information necessary for a reader to locate and retrieve any source you cite in the body of the paper. Each source you cite in the paper must appear in your reference list; likewise, each entry in the reference list must be cited in your text.
Your references should begin on a new page separate from the text of the essay; label this page “References” in bold, centered at the top of the page (do NOT underline or use quotation marks for the title). All text should be double-spaced just like the rest of your essay.
Basic Rules for Most Sources
- All lines after the first line of each entry in your reference list should be indented one-half inch from the left margin. This is called hanging indentation.
- All authors’ names should be inverted (i.e., last names should be provided first).
- Authors’ first and middle names should be written as initials.
- For example, the reference entry for a source written by Jane Marie Smith would begin with “Smith, J. M.”
- If a middle name isn’t available, just initialize the author’s first name: “Smith, J.”
- Give the last name and first/middle initials for all authors of a particular work up to and including 20 authors (this is a new rule, as APA 6 only required the first six authors). Separate each author’s initials from the next author in the list with a comma. Use an ampersand (&) before the last author’s name. If there are 21 or more authors, use an ellipsis (but no ampersand) after the 19th author, and then add the final author’s name.
- Reference list entries should be alphabetized by the last name of the first author of each work.
- For multiple articles by the same author, or authors listed in the same order, list the entries in chronological order, from earliest to most recent.
- When referring to the titles of books, chapters, articles, reports, webpages, or other sources, capitalize only the first letter of the first word of the title and subtitle, the first word after a colon or a dash in the title, and proper nouns.
- Note again that the titles of academic journals are subject to special rules. See section below.
- Italicize titles of longer works (e.g., books, edited collections, names of newspapers, and so on).
- Do not italicize, underline, or put quotes around the titles of shorter works such as chapters in books or essays in edited collections.
Basic Rules for Articles in Academic Journals
- Present journal titles in full.
- Italicize journal titles.
- Maintain any nonstandard punctuation and capitalization that is used by the journal in its title.
- For example, you should use PhiloSOPHIA instead of Philosophia, or Past & Present instead of Past and Present.
- Capitalize all major words in the titles of journals. Note that this differs from the rule for titling other common sources (like books, reports, webpages, and so on) described above.
- This distinction is based on the type of source being cited. Academic journal titles have all major words capitalized, while other sources’ titles do not.
- Capitalize the first word of the titles and subtitles of journal articles, as well as the first word after a colon or a dash in the title, and any proper nouns.
- Do not italicize or underline the article title.
- Do not enclose the article title in quotes.
- So, for example, if you need to cite an article titled “Deep Blue: The Mysteries of the Marianas Trench” that was published in the journal Oceanographic Study: A Peer-Reviewed Publication, you would write the article title as follows:
- Deep blue: The mysteries of the Marianas Trench.
- …but you would write the journal title as follows:
- Oceanographic Study: A Peer-Reviewed Publication
- So, for example, if you need to cite an article titled “Deep Blue: The Mysteries of the Marianas Trench” that was published in the journal Oceanographic Study: A Peer-Reviewed Publication, you would write the article title as follows:
Please note: While the APA manual provides examples of how to cite common types of sources, it does not cover all conceivable sources. If you must cite a source that APA does not address, the APA suggests finding an example that is similar to your source and using that format. For more information, see page 282 of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, 7th ed.
