Visuaalne dokument sõnas ja pildis / Visual Documentation in Words and Images

Abstract

Today’s ethnographers have high-tech recording gear for documenting the skills passed from one generation to the next. With the help of skilful production, the visual recording can be an invaluable source for research conducted decades later. Documentalists seeking to achieve scientifically valuable results must master the recording technology as well as the topic being covered. They must be a journalist who can manage sources skilfully, a competent ethnographer, an artistically inclined cinematographer and a lighting specialist.

Imre Annus provides insight into how the documentation of native techniques should start and which problems should be focused on, based on several decades of his experience as a director, cinematographer and editor.
