Four Boxes The following boxes have been categorized as the four main elements of any movie/video clip. Camera Mes-on-scene Editing Sound After observing the clip, we are supposed to fill in these boxes respectively with everything we saw about ; the camera angels and movements, the mes-on-scene which includes the characters the props the lighting etc, the editing and different cuts used in the clip and the sound effects used.

We were introduced to the different types of camera shots and movements by Sir Nadeem and here is a list of them. We were also told about the format in which we should save our work on Adobe which is H.264 High Quality 1080p HD.
Basics
The first thing Sir Nadeem Zulfiqar taught us are the basics of Media Studies; The Rule Of Thirds, Camera shots and Camera Angles as shown in the picture below. Some written work done in class!!! After some classwork Sir Nadeem sent us outside in the open, where we could capture some examples of the rule of thirds, and take some pictures using our phones. I used an Apple Iphone 7 which has a six-element lens and a 12-megapixel sensor. these are some pictures I took using my class fellows as the subject!!! As you can see in the following pictures there is plenty of "nose room" , which is a term Sir Nadeem taught us for The Rule of Thirds, which is being applied in the following pictures.
