CCR-1) How do your products represent social groups or issues? Our music video for "The Less I Know the Better' represents the teenage demographic, particularly exploring the themes of coming-of-age, heartbreak, and freedom.

We effectively used our Instagram stories to generate anticipation and engagement for our music video. Our strategy began with "Coming Soon" reels that teased the project and piqued curiosity. We followed this with behind-the-scenes content, offering our audience a glimpse into the production process and creating a more personal connection. To build further excitement, we released three teaser videos. By the time we shared our final "Music Video Out Now" announcement, we had built a strong and engaged audience. The comment section reflected this, overflowing with excitement and curiosity. Additionally, we noticed a significant boost in our page reach, highlighting the impact of a well-structured Instagram stories campaign in capturing and maintaining audience interest.

Throughout the production, I served as the creative manager, responsible for developing the storyboard and script while ensuring that no crucial details were overlooked. In addition to filming, I edited and refined the storyline and dialogues, keeping them aligned with any changes made by my team. Furthermore, on the second day, I was in charge of filming on Muhjah’s phone, where my steady hand proved invaluable. Additionally, I provided ongoing feedback while Dua managed the blog posts. I also worked on the mood board, and helped on the BTS shots for both days. Moreover, I helped prepare the filming locations at Muhjah’s house and decided and went for location scouting with Muhjah, around Islamabad.
