TASK 2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN8tNgccSlM

This video is titled the great kabbah. The poster is ilya110 . This person createed this video to show people an up close vie of the kabbah and makkah. The video was not stuctured in any way, it was just the upclose kabbah, and how many people are there. There was no specific type of information shared, but you could see the kabbah, up close and you see the actual size compared to anything else. I think that best part of that video was the beuty of the kabba. A lot of the times, we see the kabbah from far away but not really in this way.

This was an awesome video. I actually watched the whole 43 minutes of it. Thats how good it was. The name of this video was National Geographic video about the Haj. The maker of the video is national geographic. It was structured very nicely, it had an intro of the hajj and then had people talk through their experience while in the hajj. There was a lot of info shared. First et explained th ehistory of makkah. Steps of the hajj. And then got into detail about each part from the feedback of the people on the trip. I think i though the whole video and not just one part but i liked how they had diffrent people from diffrent backgrounds share their view of hajj.

The title of this video is "A short video clip of Hajj - Dec 2007",by Haideri4Eva. First the video has a video of makkah, and then it has some pictures towards the end. The information was the pictures at safa and marwa, and the kabah up close. I really liked the beggining where there was the chant labaik allahum labaik. i though that was very nice.

This is a video called "Learn how to make Hajj - Journey of a Lifetime - تعلم الحج والعمرة", by AlsunnaOrg. The video is just mini videos, and pictures merged together, with information of how to make the hajj. The information that was shared was for people not knowing how to make the pilgramige, this video explains a lot with a nice bakround song to it. I liked how the words/info of hajj kept moving and the songs that were played in the background it gave the video a very nicce touch to it.

A SOLUTION TO SHARING A HAJJ EXPERIENCE IS VERY EASY!!!! here are some examples.
  • You can post a video
PROS: If you post a video on youtube many people will wath it and you will get lots of great comments
CONS: Sometimes your video will not be watched becaue there are millions of hajj videos out there.
  • You type up a flier
PROS: A flier is nice and you can make lots of coppies and pass out to people.
CONS: Some people might no be interested and, you have to find a place where you can post your flier.
  • or you can post it on a blog and have lots of pictures of your experience and stuff.
PROS: its easy its nice, and you cold design it in your own way
CONS: if you dont have a lot of people who visit your blog it would be a waste, cause no one will see it.

I think i would pick making a video or making a blog. For a video you need to have photography and video skills, and technology skills to make the video. For the blogspot it very nice lovely and easy, you can post whatever you want and invite many people to come and visit you blog, and you can make fliers for your blog.
