  A social media page for a music video is essential as it allows artists to connect directly with their audience, share their work effortlessly, and create a loyal fan base. It serves as a digital stage where musicians can showcase their talent, interact with listeners, and expand their reach. Additionally, it keeps fans informed about new releases, upcoming performances, and exclusive behind-the-scenes content, strengthening their bond with the artist. In today’s digital era, a social media page is a powerful tool for musicians to engage with their audience and promote their music effectively.

 Apparently music industry works with tons of partnerships between companies and individuals. This includes between companies and individuals on the music creation side (singers, songwriters, and producers), the customer-facing side (streaming platforms, venues, and public performance platforms like radio), and the business side, connecting the two (labels, managers, publicists, Performance Rights Organizations, distributors, booking agents and more). However this overall structure is unified called the "Music Industry", It can be very confusing: as what may appear to be a single cohesive industry is actually a web of individual parts — sometimes overlapping, other times not.  This means an artist not only needs the talent to succeed but also needs a well-established circle of people who can compose his music video, sponsor his costs, launch his albums, and sometimes even need a production house to shoot his music video.

 Hello, it's Sadia Shahid again, currently in A2 studying at The City School Capital Campus Islamabad. after having great success in AS's journey of making short film opening I am on cloud nine for the a2's journey which is about to begin. A2 has started and media studies have become even more interesting. This year we have to shoot a music video, and the thought of putting a bunch of mine and my team members ideas together for this project is already overwhelming. The experience I got from AS would greatly help me this year, as it would be less challenging to give life to  ideas and create a music promotion package and digi pak for our music video artist. However, we are really excited about this journey of shooting our music video. Moreover, last year I did solo project but in A2 I've decided to team up with my friends and create something really amazing, while experiencing new ideas and challenges.
