New Ethical Frameworks for Documentary Filmmaking
Documentary filmmakers should be cautious of subjects who are overly eager to be featured, as it could signal a red flag. An open call for participants and letting them dictate the course of the documentary can ensure genuine willingness to participate. It's important to collaborate with subjects in shaping the narrative and to seek their approval before publishing. The evolving media landscape, with increased financial interests, necessitates the development of new ethical frameworks to align with changing industry dynamics. These frameworks are essential for preserving the value and authenticity of documentary storytelling in a profit-driven market.
