Staging Video!

Staging video is obviously very controversial subject when in convergence journalism just because we have so much technology to make it look flawless. While capturing my video, it would have been easy to fabricate natural sound while the band was setting up, there were plenty of instruments in the room,  I could have asked each person to play a little bit and that would not have been ethical. I was only an observer. Staging video by telling the band to be all at one side of the room (which would have been ideal) would have been unethical. I had to capture things where they lay. Although I am cut and dry with rules, I can understand how some people have a hard time knowing where the lines are.
