Continuity editing exercise

We divided this task because we could not meet up to shoot and edit this. Hira took charge of filming the video, while I edited it and Tehreem made the final changes and finishing touches and refinement etc. #teamworkgoals.

The BTS of the shoot are on Hira's blog since she did the filming.

Here's the final thing:

Update:

We got our preliminary exercise checked by our teacher and he pointed out the issues he had with them. Firstly, he told us that the scene where the second girl is making the tea needs to establish the character, because right now it makes it look like its the first character who went to make tea.

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...
