The documentary focuses on Haramel which is a fishing village on the outskirts of Qantab which is a very famous beach of Oman. The students have taken clippings of fishermen talking on camera about their usual fishing routine and the fishing business.

“It was a great experience working together and learning how to use the equipment which we only read about so far, we had to walk a bit which was hard in this heat but we still enjoyed working together” said Jawaher Al Rashdy, a student from the class.

Students carried all their shooting equipment with them including boom microphones, professional video cameras, reflectors etc to help them shoot professionally and avoid any disturbances with the quality of the video. The students are also planning to edit the same during the following week.

Abdulaziz Al Zedjali who was the student leader of the project said that this was a learning experience and students got the chance to work with the camera and other equipment closely. Such projects should be encouraged in the future as well; we thank our professor for giving us the opportunity to do this.”
