In what ways can an experimental audio-visual document mediate ethnographic research on Cornwall's traditional working practices, and aspire to widely distribute new perspectives on regionalised material cultures? My aim is to identify three land-based livelihoods in Cornwall and, through the medium of experimental documentary film, critically examine how working practices can impact the cultural landscape. My objective is to make a feature-length experimental documentary that bridges gaps between research, education and entertainment. The film - a digital audio-visual document - would encourage a socially broad critical discourse through a filmic re-envisioning of cultural identity in relation to the Cornish landscape. I am interested in auto-ethnography as a qualitative research strategy, seeking to investigate and reflect upon personal experience in order to understand and connect to a wider social and cultural identity. As a creative filmmaker who produces experimental documentaries, my own experience within a project is central to how I make sense of what is being uncovered. Working with film as both research method and output allows for a critical creative process to develop as my audio-visual processes evolve into the public sphere. The exploration of cultural landscape, loss and reconnection, is pertinent to my own identity - as someone with Cornish heritage whose grandfather was a farmer. My methodology would expand on themes from the Tracing Granite project (2017), a collaborative interdisciplinary field trip that I was commissioned to participate on as both researcher and filmmaker. Although much of my doctoral practice-based research would be carried out independently, I have also been invited to participate on a forthcoming project titled Crafted Geologies - an interdisciplinary research project that "will examine the ways in which geological matter influences, sustains or disrupts the mobilities of skill and the livelihoods of individuals."

一个实验性的视听文件可以通过什么方式来调解康沃尔传统工作实践的民族志研究，并渴望广泛传播关于区域化物质文化的新观点？我的目的是确定三个在康沃尔郡的土地为基础的生计，并通过实验纪录片的媒介，批判性地研究如何工作的做法可以影响文化景观。我的目标是制作一部长篇实验纪录片，弥合研究、教育和娱乐之间的差距。这部电影----一部数字视听文件----将通过电影形式重新构想与康沃尔语景观有关的文化身份，鼓励广泛的社会批判性话语。我对自我民族志作为一种定性研究策略感兴趣，寻求调查和反思个人经验，以理解和连接到更广泛的社会和文化身份。作为一个制作实验纪录片的创意电影制作人，我自己在一个项目中的经历对我如何理解正在发现的东西至关重要。与电影作为研究方法和输出工作允许一个关键的创造性过程，发展为我的视听过程演变到公共领域。对文化景观的探索，失落和重新联系，与我自己的身份有关--作为一个有康沃尔语遗产的人，他的祖父是一个农民。我的方法论将扩展跟踪花岗岩项目（2017）的主题，这是一个跨学科的合作实地考察，我被委托作为研究人员和电影制片人参加。虽然我的大部分博士实践为基础的研究将独立进行，我也被邀请参加一个即将到来的项目名为手工地质学-一个跨学科的研究项目，“将检查地质问题的影响，维持或破坏技能和个人生计的流动性的方式。”（Paton 2018）。
