Aim of this work was to describe the ethnographic documentary film as a genre that is now increasingly used as part of scientific research. Ethnographic film because of that has no single definition as it is a balance between art and science. The paper through field research described recording of one ethnographic documentary film travelogue style, through the introductory theoretical part describes the documentary film, travelogue, ethnographic film and ethnography. Ethnographic film is not only a representation of reality, it is the construction and interpretation of another reality based on the director's convention culture. Development of ethnographic film and visual anthropology largely depended on the rapid technological progress and achievements that are directly affected by the changes the paradigm of visual anthropology with regard to the new possibilities of film equipment in the field. In contemporary ethnographic audio-visual work often comes to the genus and exhibition interference, particularly between the feature, documentary, and sometimes experimental film, but in this case with genus demarcation as a crucial criterion taken a dominant feature, regardless of what movies share secondary characteristics with other families. During the recording of ethnographic film used methods used in primary and ethnography, or constructing ethnographic writing and the film is somewhat similar: ethnographer records and interprets social phenomena and events that observing and then deliver them in the ethnographic team described expressing implicit analysis and vision. The difference, however, between the two modes of representation make the media in which they can express themselves and that they condition the possibilities and ways of expression. Writing ethnographic letter ethnographer to serve the text - transcribed notes from the field to form a text which will then be used in construction of the new text, descriptive and analytical scientific messages. In contrast, field notes, which will be used in the making of ethnographic film collects camera.
