Response to Autoethnography: Journey of the Self

I feel like it makes some good points on autobiographies and how what one creates visually as an autobiography may not be exactly true. The film maker may want to be seen a certain way so they will tell a different story than the truth. Also, an autobiography or "diary" can come across as being something offensive to a viewer based on their beliefs or maybe even history with that person. They may both remember things differently.
I think there are many that are limited by the amount of footage, memories, or archives of their past they have to put into a video. In the past, those types of videos were more on wanting to capture as much of someone as possible and present it to the world in it's reality. Today people with make a video diary with the intent of "selling themselves" to a specific audience. Many times one can create such art or videos and pay no mind to critics or their audience. In other words, vomit and walk away with eyes and ears closed.
Also, I don't see how this reading helps with learning how to shoot or edit videos.
