Last but Not least

At the end of this project that was successful from every side. I would like to write my Final word about it.

The self-initiated project was one of the most flourishing projects for this year. I think if I had a chance to change something it’s going to be the posters. I am confident about the concept of it. But I think I could play more with the type and the background. And I wanted to do more idea’s and more versions for the posters.

About the video: I think as the first documentary for me it was successful with a lot of challenges. I also learned a lot of new things. First of all I always thought interviews were easy, but what I learned that it is really not easy to control people and also choosing the right place for the interview. There was a lot of noise around. So the sound was not clear. But at the end I managed to have four different interviewee. I also had a problem in deleting the video by mistake and I learned to copy my sequence all the time and back up my work. Another thing is the time management I had some other projects going on with this. This was another challenge for me to achieve all the other projects on time.

Video in progress

It have been a long time since i updated the blog. 
I am in the process of Both Video and Posters. 

In my Video: i will be documenting the life in the uae and i am including interviews with young Emirati's. My questions are :
 1-What do you know about you heritage? 
2-What does it mean to you to be Emirati? 
3- Do you think the traditional Dress code will vanish away one day ? 
4- What do you think of the future of the UAE young generation ? 

In my documenting i found a lot of difficulties. 
such as 'people not cooping with me. 
Some of the interviewee didn't take it seriously. 

But others have been really helpful. 

In my posters i am trying to combine the heritage with modernity. i tried to involve something that is really popular among Young Emirati.
this is my first poster.
