“If we can do it…”

“…so can you”

Ummah Films star Baba Ali and his right hand Yusuf Chowdhury talked to a room of guests about “Publishing Videos on the Internet” since although not professionals are very experienced in the field.

They discussed some of the planning needed to be done before actually uploading a video onto the internet:

• Objective- why do you want to make videos?


• Topic- this must be analysed by establishing who the audience is (young, old, students, professionals, beginners/experts in a field etc)? And what does this selected audience want to see?


• Relevant Issues- it will be a waste of time if you record something that has no relevance, in order to create a relevant issue there needs to be a relation with the audience to connect with, something that has a meaning to them.


• Ideas- write things down as soon as you get them

The speakers were very good at keeping the audience engaged and were very supportive of us actually going forth and creating videos, a quote by Baba Ali “I started while sitting in a chair in front of a camera, all of you here today are sitting in a chair with a camera in front of you” they both also insisted how they are not professionals and learnt his along the way. Baba Ali had no idea that his first video would cause such a snowball effect.

Publishing videos online is a great way to voice your opinion, especially when you have something to say but not in the position to say it in, you can send a message to any figure or group or humanity as whole by just recording yourself and letting it be seen by whoever will be interested in the topic.

From this session I learnt that anything is possible, nothing should stop you because the internet has so much information that you can gain any form of knowledge and do what you want to pursue with help and support from others.
