As mentioned by Nikhil, you should first check if the path is correct.

Secondly, you should check if the video format is supported. Currently, MP4, WebM and Ogg are supported only.(Though this should not be the case as you are using MP4 format with correct MIME type)

If you are using the supported video then check if you have used the right MIME type.

For fallback, you can try this syntax:

<video width="320" height="240" controls>
  <source src="movie.mp4" type="video/mp4">
  <source src="movie.ogg" type="video/ogg">
  Your browser does not support the video tag.
</video>

Any text between the <video> and </video> tags will be displayed in browsers that do not support the <video> element.

For more info on this, you can refer to w3school.

Have you checked the path of the video properly?

The syntax is right, I guess you are giving the wrong path to the src attribute.

Or you can try this also (If the path is right):

<video width="400" controls autoplay>
  <source src="uniform_shop.mp4" type="video/mp4">
</video>
