Due to loosing Premier Pro, I have lost the file of the video which was created in 2019. However, I have described the different expressions communicated through the camera as an active agent:

In the video, I chose to document the journey of visiting the museum and its exhibition. I aimed to intensify the feelings, questions, and nostalgic moments that filled my mind during that journey. I focused on both the positive and negative aspects. The video is intended to be an emotional journey, where your mind and eyes rush to take in the surrounding elements. I tried to reflect the emotions I absorbed from that space through numerous small details and actions. For instance, the rush and heavy flow of thoughts and memories evoked by the space are mirrored in the speed and camera movements. It was not meant to be cinematic but rather as if you were looking through my eyes in a more intensified way. The music and sound effects were chosen to represent both the Palestinian and foreign perspectives I observed in the museum.

I also wanted to focus on some elements in isolation from their presence in the museum. For example, one of the first scenes shows the front gate and the metal barriers magnified as a single element connected to the occupation. I also emphasized other elements collectively. The video is meant to feel somewhat intrusive, emotional, and possibly uncomfortable due to its speed, but that is part of the experience. This is especially noticeable at the beginning, where the footage is close to the ground, reflecting a subservient perspective, which speaks to how the museum made me feel. As the video progresses, the angle becomes higher until it reaches a normal viewpoint. This shift is influenced by the Palestinian art pieces that made me feel more comfortable and equal within the museum's space.

I also included text to further explain the footage it follows. For instance, the relationship drawn between the wall built from Palestinian stones in the museum and the Israeli law that mandates all buildings in Jerusalem be constructed from Palestinian stones to preserve its identity and serve their purposes.

Moreover, the lighting significantly affects the general feel of the place and contributes to the audience’s reactions throughout the footage. The sunlight streaming through the glass feels refreshing. However, a different, more hostile atmosphere is conveyed through the black curtains that block the sunlight.

Furthermore, I included moments where I felt out of place, such as when entering the museum’s doors or when I felt rushed or closely monitored by the cameras and guards. Additionally, I included moments where I felt like I was doing something wrong by entering the museum, as if I were sneaking or breaking in.
