 Here is our Final Video: 


Learning Outcome

This Music Video using the song Maand by Bayaan, Rovalio, and Hassan Raheem delves into the themes of memory, nostalgia, and changes due to the passage of time. Through the protagonist's reflection on her past with her friends, the video encourages viewers to reflect on the impact of past connections on their present lives. 

Through this video, we learn how the protagonist's memory of her old friends is triggered by everyday tasks, highlighting the enduring power of past moments and their ability to permeate our current reality. It also highlights the bittersweet feeling of lost connections. While she reminisces the enjoyable moment of just hanging out with her friends, she can't help but want to experience it again. The photo of her friends that was sent to her serves as a catalyst, triggering a flood of memories and lost connections due to the passage of time. This encourages viewers to cherish the relationships they have now and acknowledge the inevitable changes that occur over time.

The protagonist's constant remembrance of her friends throughout the day serves as a reflection of her loneliness and the lingering sense of disconnection that has shaped her present life. This shows her value of that particular friendship, which seems hard for her to move on from. Her reminiscence becomes a means for escaping the isolation she feels, highlighting the deep longing for companionship and, again, the bittersweet nature of nostalgia.

The final shot of her looking out the window suggests a moment of contemplation, inviting viewers to ponder the cyclical nature of memory and the ongoing process of understanding one's own emotional landscape. This invites viewers to reflect on their past relationships in ways that shape their present understanding of themselves.
