Answer 1

Abstract Model

class VideoFile(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=1024, blank=True)
    size = models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True)
    ctime = models.DateTimeField(blank=True, null=True)
    class Meta:
        abstract = True

May be generic relation will be useful for you too.
