The
First Exercise:
Before starting our
project “Film Opening” I was bit nervous and stressed about the making and
completion of it within the given time. Soon I composed myself and my mentor of
Media Studies consoled me and helped me to learn about the camera techniques. She
guided me how to execute camera movements like Pans and tilts. Moreover she
used to give me the assignments for home to capture different shots and angle
so that I get familiar with the camera techniques and shouldn’t be troubled of
handling the camera. Gradually with this tactic of my instructor I became
confident enough to handle camera. She made me put into practice all the basic
shots like Extreme long shot/Master shot / Establishing shot, the Long shot and
the Ariel shot, the low angle. This gave me a lot of confidence and I practiced
all these shots on my family trip to Northern areas of Pakistan.

Before attempting the film opening project I decided
to take part in the film making competition, organized by Beacon house National
University (BNU) under the title of Beacon house Film Festival 2015. The film
festival required to make one short film of five to seven minutes maximum .The
film festival offered five topics on which I had to make the film and presented
five genres-I had to make a film keeping in mind the topic and the genre. The
topic I chose was schools and society and the genre was drama. I decided to
make this film with my batch companions. My team comprised of Rida Shafqat-the
producer, Muhammad Ahmad who was the Director of photography. I offered my
services as creative head, as I crafted the plot of the film and tried to
present the story in an effective manner. I also worked as a Director of
Photography. We tried our level best to complete our film within a limited
budget and available resources. The title of the film is “A Story of Two Girls”. A story
two girls is created by the help of simple digital single lens
reflex and the tripod stand. This film is a comment on the prevailing economic
disparity in the society. The story is reflecting the different lifestyle of
two girls of same age belonging to two different classes. In this film the
difference is shown for example in their routine life, study pattern, games ,
their shopping preferences and above their educational institutions. It is
shown that both girls studied in different school. They could not even shop at
the same place. The rich went to mall to have a cup of coffee and the poor one
went to ordinary shop to eat inexpensive ice cream. The whole film is shot in
the Point of View shot-as the Point of View gave the more emotive message as
compared to any other shot. We tried our level best that each scene is just
right and conveys the message. The story line was notable. The most
important objective to do this project was to familiarize myself with the
camera techniques, blogs and other requirements like story boards. I made a
blog which had all the information that how we created our film. This
experience gave me confidence and assurance to attempt the project of Film
Opening, for the International Examination.
