SADIYA SHAHID.2

 We organized the room according to our music video requirement, we added details to the room which gave the look, now perfect for the shoot.

  Given the project’s strong reliance on visual storytelling, we made costume design a key focus, alongside set decoration and props. The outfits were thoughtfully curated to reflect the character’s quirky and imaginative nature, while still hinting at a laid-back, everyday style. This blend of boldness and subtlety helped us visually communicate the character’s essence in a compelling yet grounded way.As I was costume designer I choose these outfits for our character:

  We required money for the props the total amount we need was around  5-6k for the props. And I and Shanzay had to go to Asma's place for shooting, the shooting was about of 4 days and it costed each of us 2,000-2,300k per day total of 16k or more and  for mamen light which shanzay bought was around 8k and the other equipments also almost costed in total 10-12k.

 As our music video required only a single room to be shot in, so we decided to shot the music video in one of our team member's (Asma Irfan ) house room. The location (room) for our music video shooting was:

“Jumping Fences” Song by The Olivia Tremor Control ‧ 1996: Lyrics: Lazy man who can't find his words All caught up inside his head He is there with you, he is there with you And when he can't speak from too much wine You're always there with his line When he wants to go home You know the jolly show must go on But he sees me on you And you on summer buzz and summer heat But I don't know For go to the picture show today We're living day by day And we both know That this world can make no sense When you've jumped everybody's fence, yeah We're living aimlessly And we both know That this world can make no sense When you've jumped everybody's fence And you know we can, yeah (We're living aimlessly and we both know that this world) You know we can, yeah yeah Yeah, you know we can Mood: The song’s mix of whimsy and frustration mirrors the creative process—the push-and-pull between motivation and avoidance, making it a fitting metaphor for procrastina...

A song that was less than 2:30 in duration. 3. A song that could be filmed entirely inside.

Asma Irfan leading role for our music video and my team member:

 Our criteria for actors was not very strenuous, and we all asked several family members and classmates. However, due to various issues, we were unable to find actors. These include:  1. People unwilling to act while fasting for Ramadan 2. People unwilling to act due to approaching mock exams 3. Transportation issues 4. Permission from their parents 5. Timing clashes
