Ethnographic writing is a writing
style that focuses on groups of people. This type of writing can be very
influential to the people who are studied. The author may want to convey
certain points so that the situation is altered. In other words the author can
directly affect the people in the study. If the author gives a contorted view
on a person, the person may read this and is persuaded to think another way.
The documentary that my group is
making is studying the League of Legends club. Our documentary is going to be
using ethnographic writing. We will be looking into the club and study how they
operate. We will be doing interviews to try and get information. The way we use
these interviews will create a certain distinction with the club. Creating the
best description of the group is the hardest thing to do. We don't want our
audience to get the wrong impression. If we did this the club is going to be
distraught. Ethnographic writing has the ability to label groups as one thing
when they actually may be another. If you don’t know exactly what you are
talking about you may insult others. If we did this the club is going to be
distraught. We will try and interview different types of people in the club so
we can decipher what their true ideals are. We are going to try and not take
any sides so that everyone is pleased. Ethnographic writing is very prevalent
in documentaries and either creates a positive or negative response.
