Description
Summary:Ethics for Making is from filmmaker Pratap Rughani who has used his own film Justine (2013) as a case study for undergraduate and postgraduate students to examine questions around the ethics of making in creative practice. Using Justine as a starting point, Rughani has created and shared a website that can be used as a critical tool to examine the relationship between filmmaker and subject. In this case, he has focused on key areas of discourse around consent, particularly informed consent, responsibility, creative freedom, collaboration, and representation. These themes are presented as a series of questions and discussions that develop opportunities for real critical thinking for film, media and art students. The website is interactive and invites visitors to apply the methods of questioning presented here to their own creative thinking and arts practices.
