As I delved further into my project it seemed important to show the importance of what all these concepts can achieve - the vegetable patch provides life as well as sustaining it.
The Wild Flower Meadow contains an abundance of life and by taking from the land 'humans' can also giving back.
I documented some of the natural activity in the wild flower meadow.
Can you hear a chatter of birds in the background? (not song birds) This is the nearby Turkey farm. Again another path to discover in this location. The essence of this ethnography is to keep my footage as raw as possible, in order to be as truthful as possible. Whilst I the filmmaker can never see this journey as others will see it, as it is part of a much smaller canvas, instead I must give my viewers a raw and truthful experience; this is important to me.
Here I was focusing on the details of the wild meadow, focusing on the what was was directly in front of the lense. I feel that this is also reflected in my symbolic camera, too often we are distracted by the vast amounts of stimuli in the visual world and forget to focus on what is right in front of us. Here, in the clips i have focused on the small direct focused take, rather than wide shot footage.
However, I am aware after looking back at my footage that showing the wider landscape and long shots of the meadow as a whole are equally important.
