Features: This book adopts a broad perspective of visual anthropology, primarily discussing the filming and research of ethnological or cultural anthropological facts through cinematic means. The book is divided into sections such as Focus, Visual History, Point of View, Discussion and Dialogue, Perspectives, Author-Audience Face-to-Face, Film and Television Art, Image Studio, and Visual Activity Creativity. Culture is the visual expression of humanistic records, and image information is the most fundamental form of information, with its history traceable back to the prehistoric era before the invention of writing. The 21st century is an era of highly visualized information, where global film and television media transmit vast amounts of visual information and various audio-visual information every minute, leading some to call it the "image-reading era." The intersection of "visual" and "expression" is grounded in anthropology, communication studies, cultural studies, and other fields. Combining them may offer a new perspective.
