  • It’s the last and final film i’m making for college and i’d love to make it a good one. It’s going to be an observational documentary on what it is to be a traveller, from a travellers perspective, hopefully educating people to the truths and myths that shroud the community.

    Because it’s going to be observational, it should prove to be what’s essentially a means of self representation. So basicly, if/when i get the opportunity to film on one of my local sites, it’ll be an opportunity for the guys to portray themselves however they want. (so if they’ve been having trouble with the local ol’ dear round the corner who thinks they’re loud and dis respectful to the neighbourhood, then it’ll be a chance for them to prove her wrong.)

    So basicly, as part of my research, i wanted to know whether you guys thought it was a good idea. Whether you think it’ll make a difference. Or whether you’ve got any advice on where i should go from here.

    Would be a massive help.

    Thankyou my loves

    Depending what you’re focusing on ‘The Traveller-Gypsies’ by Judith Okely might be useful for some background information although it’s a bit old (1983). Amazon has an online version you can browse http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/reader/0521288703/ref=sib_dp_pt/026-9482500-3736436#reader-link

    The book as well as presenting an anthropological study also is trying to challenge the stereotypical idea of what travellers are which sounds to a certain extent to be where you are coming from.

    Good Luck:bounce_fl

    what i’m after is ‘primary research’. Peoples reactions to the idea. As well as any info anyone might have on who i could speak to on the matter of interviews etc.
    Cheers though, i’ll have a look. x

    Cor…those first couple of chapters were very helpful. Thanks petal. xx

    Glad I could help.
