Location Recce

 For the outdoor locations (park and subrubs) we decided to film in my colony in one of the parks that were relatively larger and the rest in nearby streets. The park was walking distance from my home so conveyance wasn't an issue.

Suburban streets:

For the indoor shots, we needed a bedroom, a dining room or lounge for the party scenes, a window where our actress will be sitting and a kitchen.

Since we were gathering at my place for the outdoor scenes, we decided to use my room as the filming location, as well my dining room, except we would have to rearrange some furniture. For the window, since we'd be filming it from the outside we decided to use the one in my brother's room which opens to the terrace. However, my kitchen didn't go with our video's theme overall because the structure of it meant that there would be a lot of things in the background that could be distracting, and also my kitche is grey and black so the palette was completely off as well. Tehreem's kitchen was more suited to our purpose and palette both, so that was our final filming location. Tehreem lives about 15 minutes away from me, and 20 for Hira but that much was manageable since we couldn't find an alternative location.

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...
