Getting people to talk 1 September, 2008
Getting People to Talk: An Ethnography & Interviewing Primer is a wonderful video made by students at the Illinois Institute of Design. It’s also a great example of a Participatory Video approach as one of the creators, Gabriel Biller, notes on his blog:
… we hope that this will be just the first of many videos produced by ID students to help teach others about techniques, methods, and other aspects of design through the powerful and entertaining medium of video.
I won’t try and summarise the film here other than to say that it does an excellent job of demystifying ethnography and showing the benefits of getting in to the field.
