Trying out Shots for final video (1)

A while back I was introduced to the music video of 'In the name of Love' by another media student. I was fascinated by the effect shown at 0:52 and 1:50. Ever since then I tried to investigate and figure out how it was made.

Finally, I tried a technique which gave me the same effect. A volunteer stood in a location with a prominent background. Two pictures were then taken of the volunteer in which he was placed in a constant position on the camera screen with the help of grid lines. As a result the background moved according to the changing perspective of the camera lens; however, the subject's position remained significantly unchanged. The two pictures were placed one after the other repeatedly in Adobe premier software.

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
