Autoethnography

Ethnography is described as a study of a branch of anthropology dealing with the scientific description of individual cultures. Autoethnography is what one would call for the description on the author's/film maker's own culture and thoughts.

The article (as much as it was a bit confusing to understand first go) gives an a depiction of several film artists whose work have fit within the autoethnographic catagory. Each one however, shows their film work in a different way from each other, just as an individual person varies from one another. They use the camera as a means of documentation of their inner thoughts, while also creating a narration that is used to help the viewers understand the individual idea.





Hm... not exactly sure what else I can say about this. :\
