The purpose of the video is teaching us how to behave in this pandemic.
Before the virus people were out of touch with their families and now after the virus they were reminded of the value of their families.
After the outbreak people realised the importance of small activities that they hadn't had the time to enjoy and now they could.
In the future I hope we can find a vaccine against the virus.
Now we can enjoy dancing, singing, baking, etc...
During this time we realised that we were hurting the planet and we have the chance to take better care of it by decreasing pollution.
I think this video is trying to show people the things we did wrong before the virus and how we can change it.

The Grate Realisation

DanielasSilva — 2020-05-06 15:48:00 UTC

The purpose of this video is to show people how the world has changed from one moment to the next.
Before the virus people did not communicate with our family but now at home is different, now we have fun at the same time doing different activities for example, cooking, playing games...
The future will be different, but I hope that one day they will find a cure for this virus.
I think this quarentine will make us think of a way to improve the world and what is wrong, in other words to make a difference.

The purpose of the video was to show two completely different worlds before and after the virus.
At the moment, we are all more sensitive, but more certain of what will be better for each of us and the world in the future. The world was dead and lifeless, and somehow, it was exactly what we were doing to kill it gradually with pollution and all the things we heard before all this, before the virus we didn't care so much, it was just a voice in news, and it had never affected us. Until the world screamed and when he screamed this time, we were the ones who suffered.
After this outbreak, we will be able to save it, we saw it in the movies and series, but now we are all the main characters ready to act at any time, I hope so. We need to listen to who knows and do whatever it takes, it's time to take action and read the script without errors.
The media have a big role here, they have to alert people to what's going on, inform them of new restrictions or even laws, and be careful not to lance false information that scares people even more.
Both articles talking about the world after this and how we will have to change our attitudes. We can't hope everything to be the same. We have to adapt to different situations and follow some restrictions.

The purpose of the video is to show how the world has changed with the arrival of this virus. Before, people didn't value the world behind phones, they didn't want to know about the people around them, that is, they just cared about new technologies. But with the virus, people start spending more time at home with the family and are unable to go out, which makes people appear around them and love them as they should always have been loved. For example, now they play, cook or do anything without a phone. I hope that scientists will find a cure for this virus and that people can safely leave the house without worrying about the people around the virus. With these two worlds before and after the virus, I hope people will continue to enjoy how they stay at home having fun.

What were the most interesting aspects of both articles?

-The most interesting aspects of the two articles were the stories shared by people along with the videos and images.

As far as the pandemic is concerned, what has been the role of the media?
-The role of the media in the pandemic has been to inform people of what is happening around them so as not to put them at risk.

What will happen in the summer of 2020?
-Summer 2020 may happen but with due caution, as we want to defeat the virus and not make it even stronger by exposing ourselves without protection.

What are your expectations?
-My expectations are that the virus will be defeated and that people will not be harmed by the virus, it will only strengthen us, we have to think about the identical situations that happened millions of years ago, all viruses were defeated on this planet, not being as advanced as today, when it comes to technologies, but it will make it easier to find a cure for this virus.

Guilherme Cortes

guilhermeoliveiracortes — 2020-05-09 12:36:00 UTC

The purpose of the video is to demonstrate that the big difference between life before the virus and life after the virus.
Before people did not think that the virus would affect populations so much, now they are becoming more and more concerned with this situation because now this situation is much more serious.
On the other hand, families are able to spend much more time together and have fun without being able to leave the house. I and like all people hope that a cure for this virus will be found as soon as possible.
My expectations are that this virus will be defeated as soon as possible and that it will not spread to many more people.

The Great Realisation

layzapereira05 — 2020-05-09 17:40:05 UTC

The purpose of this video is to show the world completely differently before the virus starts.

Before it all started people did not value our world very much, that is, they only cared about technologies. With all this virus people started to give more value to the family, etc ... in the case of being more united to play, cooking with the family also served a bit of a "lesson".

And as this is all we just hope that everything goes well and that we will be even more united.

What were the most interesting aspects of both articles?

The most interesting aspects of the two articles are the stories that were shared.

As far as the pandemic is concerned, what has been the role of the media?

The role of the media is to alert people to what is happening, to inform them about new laws and other new things about the virus.

What will happen in summer 2020?

In the summer of 2020 we can expect everything, my expectations are not very high in relation to the summer because a lot can happen there.

What are your expectations?

My expectations in relation to all this is that everything will be resolved and that a cure be found for the virus.

The Great Realisation

The purpose of this video was to show how our planet has changed, before and after the virus.
What was wrong before the virus was that man was killing the planet. Still, he didn't stop! We heard people talking about pollution, fires and everything, but nothing was close enough to realize that everything was not right.
What happened after the virus outbreak was the lack of people on the streets to destroy the rest of the planet that remains. Staying at home for a while was not optional, and many people hated it, but it had advantages, such as reduced pollution and less spread of the virus. With the time we stayed at home, we all started to be more aware and to realize that there should be more actions, to protect what allows us to live.
I don't know what the future is like, because when everything goes back to normal, people can try to destroy the little that has recovered in that period of time ... the human is cruel, that is a fact, but I want to We believe that we will not be back in time bad because, despite everything, we are intelligent and we have already reached the stage where we realize that, in the midst of all this, we are the most affected.
I think we really are having the opportunity to make peace with the world and try to recover everything that was, as much as possible. I think the "we're concerned, let's help" games, ARE OVER.
We ended up doing nothing to help! Actions, we need actions and ideas abound, because even the smallest ones will be super important. We can really help to recover our world ... all of us.

matildesantoslima2006 — 2020-05-10 12:41:22 UTC

What are your hopes for summer 2020?

The most interesting aspects of the two articles were reading what people wrote and watch the images and videos they showed. I felt identified and it also reminded me of some moments I had with my friends, and how i miss them.

The role of the media has been keeping people informed as much as possible, especially about risks, allowing people to protect themselves, but they have also tried to entertain people with the aim of reducing panic.

In the summer of 2020 things will be different from what we are used to ... for example, the beach is the place that people go to most in the summer, but this year we will have a maximum number of people on the beach. Another example, summer festivals. Most teenagers had plans to go to festivals with friends, but they were postponed. My expectations are that all this will pass and, for next year, the summer may return to what it was, because I want to go to the beach with my family and friends and have a lot of fun, without worries

The great realisation.

joaoppinto06 — 2020-05-10 15:18:59 UTC

The purpose of the video is to draw attention to the huge difference in everyone's daily life, before, during and after the covid-19 pandemic and the habits that have been changing throughout the quarantine, how to contact family or friends more often and even more time for things we couldn't do before.

Baltasar Pádua- The Great realisation

baltasar5688 — 2020-05-10 15:29:28 UTC

The purpose of this video is to show us how the world changed with this virus.
Summing up, before the virus, people were destroying the world, with everything, like pollution etc...

After the outbreak of the virus, people were obligated to stay at home, so with that, the world «regenerate» himself from the pollution and from the people, while the people were discovering new things to do, and new hobbies.
Right now, the future is uncertain but I think that when this is all over, probably the humans will start to screw up everything again, like how they did before the virus.
Right now we can follow all the rules that are given to us, because if we all contribute, we can pass this on.
I think that were gave to us a opportunity to change the world, to do what we like or we always wanted to do, and some people are really enjoying that opportunity.

The great realisation

joaoppinto06 — 2020-05-10 15:35:46 UTC

My hope for the summer of 2020 is that the cure for the virus will be found and that we can finally leave the house and observe the purest and cleanest world that was not possible to observe before, because this quarantine had a lot to give to nature and I am grateful so despite the deaths that could be quickly avoided.

Baltasar Pádua

baltasar5688 — 2020-05-10 16:13:15 UTC

What were the most interesting aspects of both articles?

I thought that the most interesting aspects of both articles are the texts that people wrote about how they are passing this virus.

As far as the pandemic is concerned, what has been the role of the media?

The role of the media in this pandemic is to inform people about the pandemic, that's why sometimes media is the principal reason that people are worried.

What will happen in summer 2020? What are your expectations?

Well, I don't know if the cure will be found in 2020, (I hope so) but I think this summer will be very very diferent because even if the cure is found before the summer, we need to have our precautions.

Gonçalo Sousa The Great realisation

goncalomosps4 — 2020-05-10 18:23:47 UTC

The purpose of the video is to compare our lives before and during virus.
Before, families spent little time together and some stopped talking about tecnology, even nature itself was suffering from our daily consumption.
During virus families are in much more communication with each other and nature is less polluted than before.

Gonçalo Sousa

goncalomosps4 — 2020-05-10 18:39:47 UTC

What were the most interesting aspects of both articles?

What I found but interesting in both articles was how they explain how the virus spreads

As far as the pandemic is concerned, what has been the role of the media?

The role of the media has been very important because they transmit what happens over the days with the virus and how it spreads throughout the world, and how to protect itself from it.

What will happen in summer 2020? What are your expectations?

The expectations for summer if 2020 are to keep us at home until a cure for the virus is found.

Margarida Simões - The Great Realisation

margarida_simoes — 2020-05-11 09:46:54 UTC

This video wants to show how we acted before this pandemic and what changed us when the pandemic started. Before the pandemic people polluted, people were always clinging to technologies, and now that we are experiencing the virus and we have to be at home to protect ourselves, we learn new things to do at home and we are not always with the technologies and also being at home we help to have a more "healthy" planet. In my opinion, in order to return to "normalcy" in the future it will be difficult because there are many people who have lost their jobs, many who are sick or who have lost family or friends because of the virus, so that we can get back together again it will be difficult, and many other reasons lead to the difficulty of returning to our lives before the pandemic. We all learned something from this moment in our life, I think it is something that we will take to the future. Now we have to stay at home and follow all the suggestions that the state recommends. In the future we will have to be more friends with our planet, try not to pollute as much, do as when we were in quarantine.

Filipa Graça - The Great Realisation

filipa66211 — 2020-05-11 10:22:47 UTC

The purpose of this video is show how one virus can change our lifes for the best. Before the virus the people use the technologies fot everything like cook, work and also to have fun, the people almost never talk with their family because of the technologies and it was getting out of control. After the outbreak of the virus the people strated to see that life is not just the thechnologies, in your life you can do a lot of fun things and the people start to see this and start to apperciete more the familys and the planet. In the future i hope the things can do more easier then they are now and before because i think the people will be more aware. Now the better to do is stay in our houses. I thing we being given an oportunity because with this we can do nothing and help the planet and amend what we did in the past.

Margarida Simões

margarida_simoes — 2020-05-11 10:30:42 UTC

What were the most interesting aspects of both articles?

The most interesting aspects of the 2 articles were to see how different our lives are now and what the pandemic has changed for us.

As far as the pandemic is concerned, what has been the role of the media?

The media has been very important because it gives us information about how the virus is affecting our country and the world, how things are being resolved and what we have to do to protect ourselves, among other things.

What will happen in summer 2020? What are your expectations?

My expectations for the summer of 2020 are not many because I know that we have to return to normal little by little, without great insights. But I hope things are better in Portugal and around the world.

Beatriz Oliveira

Bia_aOliveira — 2020-05-11 10:38:33 UTC

The purpose of the video is to show us the distance from the reality of what we experienced, before and during this virus outbreak.

Now, we are limited, we must not approach another person even if we want to.
With isolation, people are closer, even though it is ironic. Families communicate more in relation to the time before virús. Pollution has decreased a lot, with people at home, which has been very beneficial for the environment.

I have no firm idea of what the future will be like after this outbreak. But I hope that people will better understand the lack that others make us, and how important communication is between us all.

Now we should all follow safety measures, so as not to return to a state of emergency.

I think we are managing to make a big difference, as we are (mostly) complying with isolation and security measures, which is doing with has not reached the point of many other countries.

The Great Realisation

This video wanted to expose th life before and after the virus.

The world before corona virus was a world of destruction and with a lot pollution.

I hope people are more aware after all this over.

In the future i think people will value more the family and the Earth.

I think stay at home.

It depends because the Earth it's getting better, but much people died.

Adriana Paixão

AdrianaBochecha — 2020-05-11 15:08:24 UTC

What do you miss most about your life before the pandemic?

I miss my family and my friends.

What are your hopes for summer 2020?

I hope that in the summer it all ended.

Beatriz Oliveira

Bia_aOliveira — 2020-05-11 15:10:30 UTC

What were the most interesting aspects of both articles?

What I found most interesting in both articles, was people explaining how this outbreak is going.

As far as the pandemic is concerned, what has been the role of the media?

The media has in some ways kept us informed about the virus and its evolution, not only at the national level but also worldwide.

What will happen in summer 2020? What are your expectations?

Honestly, I don't know what will happen this summer, by the way, I believe that nobody knows yet. And I don't have high expectations, because with this, beaches or full pools, it is a danger with this new virus but I also don't believe that we can all stay at home for 3 months with very high temperatures ... As my mother says, let's wait and to see.

Filipa Graça

filipa66211 — 2020-05-11 15:39:11 UTC

What are the most interesting aspects of both articles?

I think the thing most intersthing in this articles were see how the life can change quickly.

The Great Realisation

joao5667 — 2020-05-11 15:47:06 UTC

The purpose of the video
is to show what life was like before the virus and how it will be after the virus. Technology is very important but people will get more and more addicted in phones, computers, social networks etc. The families are not going to be the same because will al be in the tecnologies.

João Teles

joao5667 — 2020-05-11 16:05:20 UTC

What are the most interesting aspects of both articles?

What I found most interesting was how people can explain this outbreak but there is no cure.
As far as the pandemic is concerned, what has been the role of the media?
The media informs us of the evolution of this virus worldwide, but they are not always corrects.
What will happen in summer 2020? What are your expectations?
I think that the virus will continue until next year, because more and more deaths and more infected.

Maísa Semedo- The Great Realisation

maisapina — 2020-05-11 16:30:15 UTC

The purpose of this video is to show people that at any moment a tragedy can happen that will change our lives.
Before the virus, families did not communicate as much because parents worked hard or their children were always attached to technology, but it took a virus to change everything. Now the families are together, they communicate, they laugh ... Things that might not have happened before.
The fear that people feel when thinking "and how will the future be?" "Will they find a cure for the virus?" . These are questions that even I ask myself. As much as they find a cure, people may still be afraid of being close to each other and wondering if the virus has really gone, which is normal at this point.
Maybe now I could be with my friends laughing, having fun or being on the street with my family, but unfortunately that is not the time now.

Maísa Semedo

maisapina — 2020-05-11 16:54:42 UTC

What were the most interesting aspects of both articles?

The most interesting aspects of both articles were certainly the stories and plans for the summer.
As far as the pandemic is concerned, what has been the role of the media?

The media at this moment has been very important both to be attentive to the news and to communicate.
What will happen in summer 2020?

This summer will be very different for sure because maybe the cure has not yet been discovered and families cannot be together or the cure can be found but people are afraid of being close to each other because they think the virus is still around.
What are your expectations?

I hope they find a cure so that we can all go out, be together and it is not good for anyone to spend more months at home especially in the summer. So I hope someone find the cure so that everything returns to the normal as possible.

Mariana Fernandes The Great Realisation

MarianaRFernandes — 2020-05-11 21:01:29 UTC

The purpose of this video is to show how much the world can change from one moment to another.

Before the virus families did not pass time together because they were either occupied or on their phones. The world was being ruined because of the pollution and because many people didn't care about it.

After the outbreak of the virus people were happier because they had the chance to reconnect with their families by staying at home and sharing moments with each other. The world became less polluted since then because there was less people and less cars on the streets.

I think the future will certainly be different because this virus taught us that we can’t take everything for guaranteed and that we need to take care of our planet because things can much easier than we thought.

Mariana Fernandes

MarianaRFernandes — 2020-05-11 21:26:37 UTC

The most interesting aspects of both articles were the stories and how different people's lives are since the beginning of this pandemic.

The role of the media has been to inform people about protection and the risks of the pandemic.

Summer 2020 will be very different from all other summers because we will have to be precocious and careful. I expect that we will find the cure very soon so we can all go out and be back to our normal lives.

Manoela

manoelammiranda1968 — 2020-05-11 22:43:02 UTC

I like to try to understand differents points of view so my favourite part about the articles was definitely the part when people talk about their expectations and how they’re living with the current restrictions. The media has a very important role because now that we’re all at home (or at least we were supposed to be) we are more connected with the internet, so it’s really helpful the fact that we have lots of advices there.

I honestly have no idea about how this summer is going to be, It’ll be different than any summer before, that’s for sure, but I think that our lives are never going back to ‘’normal’’.

Filipa Salvador

FilipaSalvador — 2020-05-28 21:41:00 UTC

This video must be seen by much more people, It has an important message that we all need to know about, such a sensitive topic. The purpose of this video is to show people, another reality that we weren't used to.. Staying home this all time is killing us slowly.. but in another way, in all of this nightmare, there is something good, the world is finally having time to breath, All of the pollution that was living on our planet just got better, the animals are living their best lifes, and i am happy for them, Nature is such an important thing to us, and i believe when all this get better, we will feel so good, we will finally breath pure air.
The media at this moment in our lifes is basically EVERYTHING! We work by internet, we entertain ourselves by internet, we can do everything by the media, and also we need the media for communication with all our friends and mates, and to be aware of the bad or good news that we are going through. This summer will be super complicated, we need to be super careful with all this, but we all are going to get through this together, and stay home, stay safe.
