Staging

Staging a video shot is wholly unethical. If the person didn't really do an action, or you weren't there, it would be like fabricating a quote or editing a photo. When you present a video of someone being excited about getting drafted, but not when it really happened, then you just made up a situation for your own benefit. 

I liked the idea of leaving the room and using wireless mics to calm down your subject. You should present yourself as a person, not as a robot. There is a reason that people have to use the cameras and it can't just do everything.
