Week 2 Reading and some thoughts..

IN MacDonald and Cousins' Imagining Reality, Pawel Pawlikowski mentioned that "Most documentaries claim to be simply recording reality. I make no bones about manipulating my subjects. I do it through choices in photography, sound, music, editing and narrative devices."

It made it clear how easy it is for a filmmaker to present reality based on the personal vision of the director or filmmaker. However, is it ethical to do that? Then again, what is the guideline to ethical documentary-making?
