Abstract
As my role throughout my filming experience as a foreigner, my camera
probably recorded the aspects that were most different from my own culture. This
idea is going by the theory I have about a foreign experience. This theory applies to
my experience. While in Ecuador, naturally I noticed the things that are much
different than what I am accustomed to. This may have effected the things that I
filmed. I tried to broaden my filming to aspects other than those that are dissimilar
to my own culture. I always filmed what the Chango's, the family I worked with,
presented me with. Unfortunately, however, I rarely filmed the family when they
were casual. The majority of the film only portrays the most opposite portions of
their lifestyle. The introduction and intermittent scenes are filled with contextual
images of daily life. Obviously, the reason for making the movie is that the Canelos
Quichua have a unique culture with traditions and practices that are different from
ourselves in many ways. I hope the overall image of these people produced is
accurate.
