Flaming hot cheetos

Yes that's us, that's the team name. I take full responsibility for it.

For the Advanced Portfolio, we decided it was much more of an efficient process to work in a team rather than individually because it would be far too hectic for one person to manage all aspects of the project. So, in a surprisingly clean and quick manner we managed to decide the teams. In my team of three I have with me:

Hira Fatima Mallick

The Brains

Hira and I have been together since 4th grade and were deskmates for a pretty long time. Somehow we have a lot of scary coincidences and somehow also end up working on so many things together - group assignments, projects, internships, activities...so we have prior working experience with each other and because of that, I think it won't be difficult at all for us to cooperate.

Tehreem Aasim

The Burqa Avenger

First and foremost, I aspire to achieve Tehreem's level of "chill" and unbothered.

I met Tehreem just last year and it took me half a year to stumble upon the realisation that we have the exact same subjects and classes. So she's basically the person I meet the most in school. We have never worked together so I am curious to see how this goes. 

After talking a bit about music videos and our general thoughts on the project, we concluded that we could have a potentially good team chemistry and would cooperate well together so...looking forward to working and fighting with you guys.

Social Media Page Research & Analysis

For our social media page, we decided to make our artist's account on Instagram. We had several reasons for this, the main one being our target audience. Our artist herself is supposed to be a "zennial" (gen z and millennial cusper) so naturally, our target audience, as also previously discussed during our research phase, is the age group 16-30 (including the secondary target audience). The primary target age group (late teens and early 20s) are significantly more present and active on Instagram. This is also why a majority of artists now, despite having accounts on both platforms, are more active on Instagram because they get greater engagement with their target audience. Secondly, Facebook appears to have a more conservative demographic and is subject to regulation by media watchdogs to a greater extent than Instagram. So considering our video contains a depiction of a lesbian couple, if it happens to fall under the viewership of people with conservative views (which is...

Music Videos - what's the point?

There doesn't have to be a point, you love them. If you don't, you do . In the music industry as we know it today, music videos have become a vital part of it, especially with platforms like YouTube (which we're all very much familiar with) that cater to streaming music videos. Apparently 55% of YouTube users watch music videos everyday (it's me, I'm users). The significance of music videos can be observed in the way award shows now have categories for them - Best Visual Effects, Best Cinematography and there's too many to list. So, I daresay, for people of mainstream pop-culture, it's grown to become a competition with artists setting and breaking records for views. Music videos, though initially made to promote artists or films, do a lot more than just that now. Prominent artists, with their large fanbases, in the industry dominate charts worldwide each time they make a comeback and drop an MV. These music videos address a variety of things: They could add...
