Song for Music Video

I and my team decided to use the song 'My Boy' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inPbasBt7KI
I like this song because a very artsy and symbolic video can be made to match the singer's dreamy elongated vocals.

My team member Ayesha showed me some amazing pictures of a photographer on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/alessioalbi/ . The use of natural light and shadows is amazing. The primary aspect that attracts me is the way the smoke shimmers as the sunlight falls from the side or behind.

These are some of the pictures that certain scenes in our video might be based on.

Dignity Day Video

Today we celebrated dignity day in our school and being the head of filmmaking society I made a video about it. The video started off with a fun fast-paced soundtrack to create suspense and interest. I added text with a simple question, in the start, to encourage engagement with the audience; which is ironic since this video can be considered a part of hot media (which demands little interaction from the viewer/user). Two interviews were added to give the video a documentary feel. A smooth audio transition from the diegetic and non-diegetic sounds of the interviewee and background score respectively to an 'Urdu poetry' was made. The poetry was accompanied by slow-motion shots of students and lower staff members to give a dramatic effect. https://youtu.be/kzJ9UjASq3c

Red talks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ICYXheEBoM&feature=youtu.be With only a few pictures, recordings and some information available, I narrated and edited a video in a few hours for a friend for her project. This was a new experience for me in which I had to manage everything under pressure within a certain time frame. This equipped me with time management and organizational skills (since I had to organize the available content in a chronological order to make it clear and understandable).
