Using Yarning as a Practice of Community Filmmaking

Abstract

<p>This thesis explores the way in which I used yarning as a research and synthesis tool to create a promotional online advertising campaign film series that targets remote communities. The films prioritise Aboriginal peoples’ voices, and perspectives on mining as related to their community and experiences working in, or with mining companies and will be analysed through the lens of yarning and Indigenous women’s standpoint theory. I will explain and critique how I used the methodology of yarning to make these films, which are also considered within the Indigenous oral histories frame of reference.</p>
