Ethical:

I don't think theres many ethical effects I need to consider other than one possible one which may be that since I'm filming in a few public spaces people may be uncomfortable being on camera. Although I won be focusing on anyone in the background it might capture them by accident. to minimise the chances of upsetting anyone I have ensured of proper permission to film in the locations and will ask verbal permission to anyone in the shot.

Risks:

Lights will be used on set in a few scenes like the interviews to gain better brightness and exposure, therefore I will have to make sure lights are set up at the correct distance and brightness in order to make sure its not a risk to anyone. people could become startled or even damage parts of there eyes if this is not done correctly, I will use a light diffuser in front of my main light to try help disperse light.
