 In todays shoot it was all about getting an idea of the task, so I called my actors to the house where we were supposed to shoot. after shooting a few shots indoor, we got to the outside shots and i realized, nothing could be seen. It was too dark and no form of editing could fix that. Here are a few of the outdoor shots I took As you can see it is too dark. Tomorrow i will discuss with my sir about the solution to this problem.

 So I designed my Digi Pak on Adobe Photoshop using a template, hope you like it !!

 In todays Media studies class we studied about the BBFC and its different ratings for viewership of different of different content. He explained that BBFC is the board for films which decides which movie is appropriate for which audience for example; some movies are R rated meaning they are only meant for consumers above the age of 17. Here are the notes I took in class. Along with BBFC he taught us about PEGI, which serves the same purpose, but for video games.

 A few days ago we started a new chapter called Media Ecology, so I wanted to share some of the notes sir Nadeem Zulfiqar gave us. We learnt about the following people; 1. Lance Strate 2. Neil Postman 3. Jarron Lanier 4. Sherry Turkle 5. Tapscott We saw different lectures done by these people on YouTube in class.

 I started shooting my music video and i wanted to share my progress with you guys. I realised shooting at night is harder than i thought. The camera does not focus properly and you need to hold it very still. This time as Producer, Director and Camera man there is a lot of pressure on me and i must remain focused to complete my task!!! Here are a few practice shots I took!!

 I want my music video to have a certain darkness too it. I have set the props of the characters according to what an action/thriller genre movie video requires and I have chosen gloomy rooms in the house too shoot. For the outdoor shots I chose an area near the house, a few empty narrow streets which kind of have a creepy look to them. 

 As far as I am concerned, I need a good location to pull this story off and to create an appropriate Mis-en-scene. After careful consideration I decided to go with the main actor Gibran's house as it fit all the criteria. I expect to start shooting soon!!
