I guess it always does come back to the goals and objectives of the video. I guess a video is just like any other project (or Islamic event or anything), you got to start with WHY you're doing what you're doing. Hmm...with this video, I originally intended to portray more about the event itself to those who weren't able to make it (due to excuses). I wanted to make it seem to them that basically they'd missed one of the most amazing events in their area and they should keep an eye out for it next year. True.
