Luckily, as I read through the script, I started to envision how I wanted it to turn out, so it made it easier to begin. I had a good team to work with and that allowed things to run smoothly even with all the problems we faced. The key thing for us was to keep it as sim- ple as possible. I would say that we accomplished something great with just two hours of sleep and minimal resources! It was one of the best and most challenging experiences I’ve ever had.” The categories were: Best Use Of Character, Best Use Of Dialogue, Best Use Of Prop, BestActor, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Directing, Best Late Film, Audience Award, Runner Up and Best Film and every category included SAE Amman stu- dents. It is clear who the real winner is! Counterproductive Pictures won the runner up prize, coming an unbelievably close second to After 2’s film, both of which will be competing in the semi- finals of the 48 Hour Film Project in Hollywood next March (2013). This is a clear testament to the students’ commit- ment and hard work and we could not be prouder of the contestants, my colleagues and the future of our industry, especially in Jordan and the region. n Nadine Al Rousan SAE Amman Digital Journalism students jump into the industry n Two Digital Journalism students dived straight into the journalism industry after taking a one year diploma course at SAE Amman. Nadine Rousan is currently a newscaster and producer at Syriaalshaab News TV, which is close to launching a TV news channel based in Amman. Nadine was hired after presenting her show reel which she produced over her one year study at SAE Amman. She was asked to carry out a screen test at the “Syriaalshaab” studios in order to demonstrate her skills to see if they meet the job requirements. “I learned the ‘I can do’ attitude from SAE, as I gained the confidence to talk about journalistic and political issues out loud”, Nadine said. Nadine worked as a director/editor and producer before she joined Syriaalshaab TV News chan- nel. “From SAE I learned how to think outside the box and how to use simple tools to produce crea- tive content. Studying Digital Journalism at SAE changed my life in a positive way”, Nadine added. Nadine’s future plan is to become a main news- caster at one of the major international news TV channels. “I want to open my own production com- pany which includes a TV & radio & production network”, Nadine said. Hala Jukka is another student who graduated from SAE Amman with a Digital Journalism one year di- ploma. Hala is currently a social media manager/ strategist at Saracen Advertising which is based in Dubai. She manages the social media and digi- tal marketing departments in two offices located in Dubai and Jeddah/KSA. “Studying DJ at SAE Amman helped me discover the online social per- son in me. I started using social media platforms to help me discover the world of journalism and to get my voice heard,” Hala said. “Another thing that I learned at SAE that benefited me to take the first steps regarding how to be a good manager at such a young age is team spirit,” she continued. Hala’s future plan is to start her own digital com- munication company and found a new Arabic so- cial media platform that integrates all the current platforms together. “I believe that studying at SAE Amman positively shaped my personality on per- sonal and professional levels”. n 252 SAE & SAE ALUMNI NEWS // Intercontinental NEWS Index
