It’s senior year of high school, and someone in your class is planning to make a senior video to capture everyone’s last year of high school,observing students who’re enjoying their lives in their last year of being high school students. 

But with COVID-19, the thought of making one is tough. Senior Kaitlyn Luczak is in the process of making a senior video, but with her senior year being different,  she’s stumbled onto some problems. 

Luczak has been planning on producing a senior video for five years and has many exciting ideas. She just may not be able to include them all.

 “I got the idea after seeing a former student make one for her senior year when I was in eighth grade, Luczak said. “Ever since then, I’ve been writing down ideas I have for it.”

Since COVID-19 is an issue, Luczak has been trying to film as much as she can of her experience and others, too. Her main goal is to have everyone in her grade be involved in the video. She’s been going around and asking people to share some clips of themselves enjoying their senior year.

“Well, I definitely try and be as careful and socially distant as I can while filming my videos of people,” Luczak said. 

Since students aren’t in school,  the video will turn out very different than Luczak expected. Luczak ’s had to adjust to different ways to get clips that she could use to include in her video.

“I’ve just been getting videos of our Zoom classes and school activities,  like the senior sunrise, so far,” she said. “I guess I’ll see how the second semester turns out, but I think the video would be way better if we were in school because then I could really include everyone.”

After everything that’s happened this year, Luczak decided to make her video more than just a bunch of clips of students having fun. She’s decided that her video should tell a story.

 “Our senior year really looks like it’s something from a movie, she said.
