Documentary ethics - Knowing when to film and when to stop filming, whether or not to pay "actors".
Nichols Reading: How do we treat the people we film, what do we owe them as well as our audience?
Should they receive compensation? Should they have a right to block the inclusion of events that prove
incriminating? Is it alright to have people repeat actions/conversations for the camera? Does this
compromise the integrity of their actions and the film's claim to represent a reality that exists
autonomously from its filming?
For documentaries, people are treated as social actors rather than professionals. They conduct their
lives more or less as they would without a camera.
Film makers typically seek a release to be signed by those filmed, giving all rights over materials, etc to
the filmmakers.
