These three videos were solely made by me, Haider Suleman. After watching some movies music videos on youtube, I just wanted to make my own videos and gave my best in making them. These videos were made on Windows Movie Maker which ruined the aspect ratio of all the three videos.
The frame height and width were changed to following in all three videos due to Windows movie maker
Frame Width: 720
Frame Height: 480
The aspect ratio was changed approximately to 16:10 which stretched the video.
To overcome this problem I used a video converter to change the frame width and height
The new frame width and height are as follow
Frame Width: 720
Frame Height: 320
This is the reason I had to upload the videos again because I really hated the old aspect ratio. The new frame size looks pretty normal to me.
Two of the videos were uploaded a long time ago by me on my personal youtube account. The links to old videos are
1 - The Notebook: She will be loved - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzbJTPhRpes
2 - Sacrifice : Romeo + Juliet - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IDjIWQAYLWE

Ans1) In our
advance portfolio we chose music video. Our music video opens with a long shot
showing the moon and then some of LAHORE'S prestige (trademark) buildings are
shown. Our video basically is made for all the citizens of Lahore and it
is categorized as an adventure video : because it showed our own adventure in
order to collect all these clips Adventure films are usually exciting
stories, with new experiences or exotic locales, very similar to or often
paired with the action film genre. They can include traditional
swashbucklers, serialized films , and historical spectacles
(similar to the epics film genre), searches or expeditions for lost
continents, "jungle" and "desert" epics, treasure hunts,
disaster films, or searches for the unknown. It is basically a patriotic video
after watching a lot of patriotic videos , clips and music videos we finally
came up with this idea of showing the country with patriotism.
Ans2) Our music
video is made up of small clips from all around Lahore so that we can be
successful in showing the people what Lahore really is . Our genre can be
called Adventure as (again) we had to travel alot to collect these clips.
We watched many movies / music videos under the name of lahore on youtube . We
found many videos that can be related to ours and portrayed the same image and
message : that besides bomb balsts , thefts , load shedding Lahore has a bright
and a better side. the song in the back ground is an (slow) instrumental that
shows and help build the intensity in our video and help make it more
interesting . Any other song might not have helped us to convey the message
that effectively. Other partiotic songs such as : hum hain pakistani , gae to
asay etc ( included in our advance portfolio research) has the same genre as
the one we have worked on.
Q3 - In our this video there is no
target audience in specific that we targeted. it’s a video portraying patriotism
towards our country. Showing the love for our country and what site seeing
places are present in our country. it is shown through the different shots of
places shown in the video. I believe every person who loves his country, has a
bit of patriotism in himself will be the target audience to our video.
Q4 - we addressed the audience through
the various techniques we thought of and presented the in a form of video. Especially
the youth will be inspired by this. Besides the label on our country of being
terrorist and having bomb blasts every time we tried to present the bright side
of our country through some well-known places shown e.g. minar-e-pakistan . Which
is the historical place of Pakistan and a very important event took place here
"the Lahore resolution" which would hit our target audience and they might
think of it as a good place. We tried to rebuild the impression of our country
as a peaceful nation.
ANS 6) As
we started of our media studies project we were given a camera by our school (
not so good) . We had no idea where to start from, how to start, we dint even
know what different types of shots are, what are they called. But when we
started off we did a bit research of how to be a professional camera
man. : reference:http://www.askthecameraman.net/Practical/The_7_Steps_To_Becoming_A_Professional_Cameraman/.
With passage of time we got to learn about many different shots and
techniques through which a single scene can be shot in many different ways.wWe
got to know the names of the different shots eg : over the shoulder shot , shot
reverse shot ( used to cover a rapid conversation)
high angle shot , The 180 Degree rule etc . these are the
things that mark the difference between a amateur and a professional
camera man.Everything was new to me , but technical yet became so easy. I
got very much successful in bringing my
imaginations/creativity into reality.
Ans7) Considering
my studies i think i have learned a lot because of
these research that i did for my projects. It was a great experience.
I got to learn a lot. From camera movements to shots to lighting to editing.
I got to know more about the subject and about their cameras ,
editing software's etc. These things helped made my observation
stringer whenever I watched a movie on television I used to notice all the
shots and also learnt new techniques and new camera shots and angles.
We were provided with a lot of slide shows to help us out with our projects by
our teacher ( Sir Shahbaz) consisting of all the media related info that we
needed to know ( types of shots, camera angles , audience theories etc.) .
After finally finishing or course work one thing that i surely got to know is
that making movies is not at all an easy task and all the people working on the
sets of the movie had put in their effort and a lot of hard work so they can
present their master piece to their viewers: D
