Process & Challenges:

The challenge was to make a documentary on my city, Skardu, Pakistan, covering various topics, including history, my traditional foods, tourist attractions, and much more about my city, Skardu, all by myself. I asked for help from my friend, he provided me with gear such as a camera, etc We both went to places and captured all shots..It was fun! After that, I started editing the shots as per my prerecorded voice-over. I edited the whole video, added all necessary information, and made a well-paced video.

Outcome & Results:

The Final Render was 8 minutes and 57 seconds became an engaging video it is posted on YouTube.
