Step-by-step explanation:
Ethnograpy is the study of human beings and about people and the way of how they live their lives. It is branch of anthropology. Ethnographic research is a qualitative research method where the researcher studies a particular cultural group to better understand their living style and culture.
In the context, the video is taken in Turkana district which is in northwestern Kenya. David and Judith MacDougall were the researcher who did an ethnographic film on the Turkana people.
They started filming from November , 1973 but took nearly 7 months to properly connect with the people and make videos. They have to wait very long because they did not know how to go about. They took few snap shots but they were waiting to film because they wanted to know few people from Turkana district closely so that they could properly share their life and teach them about their livings.
Trurkana people responded well to the ideas of MacDouglas thought of filming their lives and their culture. They guided him well and advised him how to go about and where to start filming from and what things to film.
The exchange of ideas in an important thing in making a ethnographic study. The more we exchange our ideas and share them , the more insights we get to do our research and tribal and cultural people can be more open up to the researcher about their living style and customs.
Seeing the cultural life of the Turkana people and exchanging ideas, MacDouglas thought about his own culture and saw how different it is from those of the cultural life of the Turkana people or other cultural and ethnic groups.
