Film crews will need to adapt to handle the challenges brought on by the coronavirus. Four industry experts weigh in on how the entirety of film production, from script to final edit, could be altered.

A top priority for the studio is ensuring that all of the teams on the lot, regardless of which production company they work for, are all operating under the same safety measures, including testing and social distancing.

Productions may not be able to hire 150 background actors to stand in a field and pretend to be zombies, as they did in pre-pandemic days, but crews will be able to sort out creative ways to achieve the storytelling elements they need for a particular project, he said. That could be done via technology or through practical special effects.

Blackhall recently made a large, undisclosed investment in air filtration products from Global Plasma Solutions, a company that specializes in clear air technology. Linda Seger, author of "The Collaborative Art of Filmmaking" and a screenwriting consultant, said that the kinds of scripts that are written in the wake of coronavirus could be quite different — at least until normal production procedures are back in place.

She also suggested that during the casting process, production companies could look to, actors who are members of the same household — a married couple, fathers, sons, mothers, daughters, etc. These family members have likely been social distancing with each other.
