Media Trip to Paragon Academy of Performing Arts

We went to the Paragon Academy of Performing Arts (PAPA) where we met Syed Noor, a legendary director in Pakistan. 

                                                                     

                                                     

He gave us an introductory lesson on camera works, lights, setting, backdrops and the proper location for shooting when making a movie. We discussed professional lights and how these solar powered lights help when shooting outdoors.

He showed us a professional movie making camera and told us about various lens size and how these lens help produce the required focus and the desired impact.

He showed us the sets of 'Shrika' and we asked him about breakable sets and wondered over how they were constructed out of wood. 

He was very helpful in terms of ending many of our problems with relevance to camera shots and lighting. We discussed various camera movements and about the props and the artificial rains.

He promised us future help with equipment when we constructed our own media products and offered to give us tutorials on cameras and lights to assist our final product.

We wanted to see a professional editing and buffing room, therefore, he gave us a tour of the two rooms whereby specialists were already at work on a particular movie, editting and smoothing it down.
