Earlier this year my sister immigrated to Dubai (UAE).
After visiting the UAE I was fascinated by its vast culture and bright scenery. When I started making my short film I considered including elements of my visit in my final film. I am still to come to a conclusion on whether or not I will actually do this, due to the fact that it needs to fit with my film and I am not sure how I will place my visit clips into my film. However, here are some of the clips from the things I got up to:
Above is a video I took of the Dubai Marina. This is one of the central elements of the city. It is surrounded by yachts and apartments making it a fun place to be. Everything is new, nothing is old.
This is a clip I took of Dubai from the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. As you can see Dubai was built on desert, however this is the only view that the desert is visible from as when you are on the ground, you cannot tell the difference!
This is inside the marina, the view from Elle's (my sisters) apartment. I took this to show the cleanliness and busy atmosphere of the city. The city is still under constant construction, and the traffic is very similar to that of India.
Here is a shot of Dubai from above. This is an image used to show the intensity of the bright lighted city which is visible through the aeroplane.
This is a clip I took from the 'Yacht Club' Dubai's prosperity had never been more noticeable than this moment. In this moment I was completely mesmerized.
Here is a photo of the view from the Burj Khalifa, allowing the world built by Emirates to be increasingly clear.
Although Dubai is a new place and has little historic platform, after observing the Arabic culture, I was motivated to base my film on way of life. This is how I came to a decision to do a culture comparison as it is interesting and I learnt something new.
I hope this post makes my filming inspiration clear, as this is a little insight into my influence.
