• Journalist's Questions

  • Who
    • (descriptive--ethnography)
  • What
    • (descriptive--ethnography)
      
  • When
    • (descriptive--ethnography)
  • Where
    • (descriptive--ethnography)

  • Why
    • (analytic--ethnology)
• And you can do this for more than one subtopic
  
  

• Time Sequence

  • T1 ---> T2 ---> T3 ---> T4 ---> . . .

  • (In this case T1, T2, . . . can equal scenes in a video, for example)
    
    

• Space Sequence

  • S1 ---> S2 ---> S3 ---> S4 ---> . . .
  • (In this case S1, S2, . . . could equal the spacial scenes in the video)
  • In other cases -- but not so easy to do with the information provided in this film -- with S1, S2, . . . , you could describe situations East to West, for example
    
    
• N number of items

  • "Ten items define the importance of. . . .

    • First, . . . .
