This multimedia project is a very well thought out and put
together video about the life of a Lebanese student in America, Ayat Husseini, struggling
to fit in outside of her home while her parents want her to keep her culture
and tradition as she looks for a college to go to. The video was filled with clips
of Ayta’s daily life at school, her community, and home. Some of the clips have
their own audio, such as when in the classroom and when Ayta is discussing
college and dorms with her parents, but majority of them have Ayta talking
about her situation in the background along with natural sounds and music. The videos
and audio have very good quality, and the storyline was very smooth and emotional
that it keeps the viewers’ attention. The ending I believe was always very
powerful, which basically sums up her situation.
At first, I liked this video project but after it just being
very consistent of the same thing I stopped enjoying it. I understood that the videos
were filmed with a lot of movement looking all over the place because it was to
show the journey illegal immigrants go through to cross the border. The natural sound in the
background was nice, but the whole time I was waiting and hoping someone would
start talking about their experience. The black background with texts explaining
things was nice for a bit but it was over used, especially since there was no
type of music nor interviews.
