KUWAIT: The view of Shamiya in Kuwait City. — Photo by Sherif Ismail Local FRIDAY, MARCH 28, 2014 #HappyQ8 - Spreading positivity, joy in Kuwait An interview with Filmmaker & Editor Mohammad Al Saeed EORITU (pronounced Where To?) recently released a video #HappyQ8 aimed at spreading positivity and Whappiness in Kuwait. The video, filmed with an all local crew, shows various locations around Kuwait and people of all backgrounds (locals, expatriates, young, old, women and men) dancing and having fun to Happy, the Pharrell Williams song from Despicable Me 2. We spoke with Mohammad Al Saeed, the writer and editor of the film about its creation. You can watch the video #HappyQ8 on Youtube. KT: Can you tell us first a bit about yourself? Mohammad: I’m an MA Filmmaking graduate from Goldsmiths College, University of London. My first memory of falling in love with filmmaking was when I used to curl up on my dad’s couch and watch his favorite movies as a kid. Watching movies exhilarated me and that little fire inside of me grew exponentially as I grew older. I borrowed my first camera from my parents and created random “TV show spe- cials” that my cousins and I came up with. I’m 29 now and that same passion still strongly exists. I mostly work on music videos, fashion films and short films. My ultimate dream is to make feature films. My favorite genres are romantic comedies, thrillers, and musicals! KT: Where did the idea for the HappyQ8 video come from? What got you started? Mohammad: The idea belongs to Taiba al Qatami, owner of WEORITU, an international organization that aims to spread positivity through the arts. Taiba approached me two months ago and pitched the idea. I agreed instantly and couldn’t wait to start filming and editing the #HappyQ8 project. KT: How many people were involved, how long did it take to film, what were some of the technical aspects/chal- lenges you faced? Mohammad: Taiba teamed us up and started the #HappyQ8 team that consists of the following people: Dana al Jouder, Faisal al Humaid, Ahmad al Qabandi, Omar Afuni, Haya al Essa, Nasser al Qatami, Shaikha al Qatami, Athba al Essa, Noor Behbehani, Fatema Behbehani, Abdullah Abdulrahman. We were like a big family and had so much fun on and off set. We all believed in the cause and with Taiba’s guidance we worked efficiently and felt at ease even though what we were doing was challenging.

  • Bab I Pendahuluan
    Universitas Esa Unggul BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1 Latar Belakang Masalah Komunikasi merupakan kegiatan sehari-hari yang sangat penting, komunikasi dilakukan untuk memperoleh informasi. Komunikasi adalah suatu proses dimana dua orang atau lebih membentuk atau melakukan pertukaran informasi terhadap satu sama lain yang pada gilirannya akan tiba saling pengertian (Everett M. Rogers 2004:19). Sedangkan menurut Harold D. Lasswell komunikasi adalah dengan mejawab pertanyaan berikut: Who Say What In Which Channel To Whom With What Effect? (siapa mengatakan apa dengan saluran apa kepada siapa dengan efek bagaimana?) (Lasswell 1960:40). Dunia perfilman saat ini pada umumnya berlomba dalam penyajian film yang sedang diminati dikalangan masyarakat, terutama dibagian genre film. Hal ini di pengaruhi adanya minat konsumen terhadap suatu genre dan teknologi terkait media baru. Film berbasis internet juga sudah mulai dibuat dan sangat memudahkan kita, dengan berlangganan seperti TV kabel kita sudah bisa mengakses film – film yang ingin ditonton secara praktis dan efesien diamanapun dan kapan pun kita berada. Karena itu dunia “Rumah Produksi Film” harus lebih kreatif dan inovatif dalam memproduksi sebuah film yang berkualitas, bukan hanya ingin ditonton oleh masyarakat. Film lebih dahulu menjadi media hiburan dibanding radio siaran dan televisi. Menonton film ke bioskop ini menjadi aktivitas popular bagi orang Amerika pada tahun 1920-an sampai 1950-an. Industri film adalah industry bisnis. Predikat ini telah menggeser anggapan orang yang masih meyakini bahwa film adalah karya seni, yang diproduksi secara kreatif dan memenuhi imajinasi orang – orang yang bertujuan memperoleh estetika (keindahan) yang sempurna. Meskipun pada kenyataannya adalah bentuk karya seni, industri film adalah bisnis yang memberikan keuntungan, kadang – kadang menjadi mesin uang yang seringkali, demi uang, keluar dari kaidah artistik film itu sendiri (Dominick.

Awalnya rama mengira bahwa bunawar akan bisa membantunya kembali ke keluarganya dan melanjutkan hidupnya sebagai seorang polisi biasa,tapi ternyata dia salah. Keberhasilannya menghancurkan salah satu kelompok gangster besar itu membuatnya menjadi target yang menakutkan bagi para petinggi korup yang diam-diam terlibat dengan berbagai macam tindakan kotor di ibukota.
