Since Pakistan Film industry is growing rapidly and we see universities who are actually promoting and teaching such courses which are related to film, videos and giving such talented people who actually wants to promote our Pakistani culture and country in a way that people around the world would see the beauty of our country.
Similarly a group of passionate and patriotic people recently released a video named ‘Arz e Pakistan’ which is a visual masterpiece in itself. The video was uploaded on social media on 12th August 2017.
While talking about the video; the idea and concept behind making such video was only to promote the tourism of our country and to show how beautiful our country is by highlighting the northern areas specially Kashmir and other places which are being neglected due to some issues. The team of Family Films made sure that they fully captured all these areas so that people would plan on coming to these places and also to start the tourism again which was stopped previously. They went on to 30 locations of the Northern areas; some of them were Kashmir, Hunza, Gilgit, Skardu and many more.
The video was inspired by international videos which are made related to travelling but Family Film’s team decided not to fully copy that but instead they just took the concept and made the video way differently since those kinds of videos were already made by everyone. The music which is used in this video is something worth appreciating. It goes perfectly with the visual and clearly the music has enhanced the feeling of this video. Special credits for the background music goes to Mubashir Admani for giving the music. Those who were a part of this video; their names are mentioned below:
