Ethics! Health & Safety!

When making this package, I'll have to make sure that I fully explain to the people I'm interviewing that what it's about; in my case, Scottish Comedy Exports. And talk about what angle the package is going to take, and why I've chosen to interview them. This is so they know exactly what's going on, and will probably help me get the answers I need (as they're aware of the angle I'm going for.) I'll also reassure the interviewee that I'm not going to edit their speech so much that it changes the points they are making; I'll edit the interview to take out the bits that don't really work, but I won't edit it so they're saying something they didn't actually say.

In terms of health & safety, I'll have to make sure when recording presenters that there are no wires lying about that people could trip over. And also, when interviewing people, I need to make sure that the interview is happening in a safe location. This can be done by checking out the location beforehand, and making sure that there is a good area for interviewing there. It'd also reflect bad on me if I was to meet up with an interviewee in a bad area.
