Reflection 1

In this essay I'm going to talk about the short video that we film it last week about "UAE artifact Culture"and I'm going to talk about my experience and what i learned in doing this film, on the other hand I'm going to talk about the problems and troubles that we had.

First of all, the main thing that i learned it in this video is how is UAE culture is a unique culture and how the people of UAE is saving it and live in the evolution time without effecting or loosing in their principles. 

The second thing, is how to work with others in one team and learn from them and share informations.

On the other hand, we had some problems for example: we were confused about what we going to talk about. 

The second issue is the time and how to gather the classmate for doing the video.
