Ġgantija is a Gozitan marvel and is a shame when someone vandalises and abuses such magnificence. As a concept it gathers what is done to preserve and protect these temples as well as what procedures are taken when vandalism is the guest. This also highlights the beauty and the appreciation people have for this ancient temple. The video questions how, why, when and what is done to assure that these temples does not suffer from any ‘graffiti’ or personal signature from ‘culprits’. In this video, a brief knowledgeable and visual story is given to audience to immerse for the first time or relish for the second time watching this beautiful phenomenon created by our ancestors. Last but not least this video shows how up to date is the welcome centre and that finally Ġgantija is given the appreciation it deserves. Enjoy!

Deconstruction

dissemination(s): school media
filed under Video Clips

    This video was created for school to try and show awareness about the problem at hand. So my video is about one of the biggest fights which are nature vs. machine and the emotions behind them because we see this every day and still don’t do anything about it. These days it’s more common to see construction work/sites and a lot of different types of machinery everywhere and then we see nature less and less every day. This video was made to bring awareness and open people’s eyes to what mankind is doing to the world. Solutions for construction if you are seeing/hearing it everywhere just go to a quiet place for yourself examples: parks or gardens were you can be in silence and peace while looking at nature

The goal of this short advert is to bring attention to those that we do not notice in our day to day lives, people who feel like they’ve lost everything, and think they have no alternative. This shows the conflict in their hearts and minds, but we can overcome it together if we seek help and take action before it’s too late. And it is never too late.

They add a nitrogen-rich component to the soil and help in balancing the carbon-rich materials found in compost. Thus, these enhance drainage and maintain moisture, promote earthworms, increase oxygen levels and keep the soil structure steady.
