Reflection

We started filming at Sheikh Zayed Mosque. We asked 3 tourists but we included two only. After asking the tourists we gathered at Fahad's place. Abdulla started talking about the first two artifacts which is the dela and the fenyal, and demonstrated the two gestures about how to ask for more coffee and how you had enough. Then Fahad started talking about falconry in the past and in the present. Lastly, Abdulla interviewed Khalid and asked him a few questions about our culture and how to preserve it. I was the photographer and we used Khalid's camera. After composing the film, Fahad edited it and rendered the movie then he uploaded it to YouTube. In the class discussion, our teacher Mr Hedley asked a few questions about how the culture will change; Abdulla's answer is our culture will heavily change in time. Five people participated in our movie, me, Fahad, Ahmed, Khalid and Abdulla. Overall the movie was good; however, when we filmed at Sheikh Zayed Mosque the sound quality was bad because there was no microphone. The movie could be better if we added some more clips and we should have commented on the falcon training.

Brown Eyed vs Blue Eyed

The video of the brown and blue eyes was a good example about discrimination. The clip showed how strong discrimination can be and what problems it can cause. First, the teacher favored blue-eyed children over brown-eyed children thus blue-eyed children abused this and started to bully the brown-eyed children. After that, when the teacher favored brown-eyed over blue-eyed there was something that shocked the teacher and that is brown eyed children showed no mercy even though they had been discriminated against the previous day and they should have known the feeling. After many years, there was a school reunion which reunited the students of that experiment. The students did understand the purpose of the experiment and they said that they have a better understanding of the term discrimination and why it should be removed from every single culture.
