I just had a bad Experience: a few people for whom I do occasional film shoots, wanted the complete recordings I had made, and our agreement was spinning really only a few sound bytes that I should provide for a site. Instinctively, I immediately said, "Forget it," but could not immediately explain why, which made for some discontent.
Anyway, now I have become smarter about what my kind regards to Mech recordings. They are created with the goal of a more research-based observation as they are intended for publication. I use unobtrusive (but high tech) equipment, I have developed discreet film techniques, and I work (with some success) hard for me to integrate among the people I film. This way I get them very close and can capture authentic scenes, rather than a kind of acting for the camera.
means that I should capture many things that really should not be included; stuff that may seem too personal or rude or unprofessional may be the persons admitted. So I am very cautious when it comes to dealing with the recordings, I never use something that I have a feeling it might jeopardize my position of trust. If it is borderline, I wonder maybe after, but only when I put the question Person know well, or I would not even risk the question. I do not think that I may delegate that responsibility to others, so I never give the raw material out of hand.
Although this incident was unpleasant, I now understand a little better what I do ... and I will ensure that others do, I film. Finally a video that I made in the course of research for my PhD:
