     Our theme for the music video is Friendship where two bestfriends  are departed from each other because of the college .They grew up together, had school together and were very close. These flashback scenes would be shown in a more pleasant colors like pink, yellow and pleasent sunlight. Aiman and I watched some music videos ;   this was the sunlight shot that I liked and thought of recreating the same scene when showing the flashbacks. The music video is named as Dhanak and the ambience is so soft that would perfectly match my video's past aesthetic. The sad part would be shown in a more dull kind of aesthetic. Like brown ,black and grey aesthetic for example  wish u were the best   is the kind of inspiration for the sad parts of the music video.

 We decided to start shooting our project around/after the second week of January (Jan 10th-Jan 29th)  Since after the winter vacations both  of us will be available & we can easily schedule even if the weather is expected to be rainy or not suitable enough for lighting The editing might be done by February and at its first week we will be done with editing and we can show this to our sir for feedback.

 Camera already available Lens attached with the camera Camera stand already available Lights DIY Lights, galaxy projector lights (already available) Travel cost 2000-3000 PKR (on me) Domestic cost 500-1000 PKR  Props  already available This is overall estimation of the budgeting I made.

  First Lypsnc  video; This was a class assignment that our teacher gave us where we were taught the skill of lipsyncing at 2x. Our teacher told us that if we made our artist shoot the video lipsyncing at 2x and then edit it making its speed normal, we would have a more clear lipsync video. It was a group project, and the editor tried her level best to make this work.

In today's discussion, we talked about the possibilities of the places where we can shoot the video. Aiman suggested her house as the establishing shot needs the house of the protagonist where she misses her friend, and specific locations nearby for the flashbacks. For external scenes like cafe, road, etc we planned to use commercial properties with permission as it would meet misenscene of the video.
