As I understand, if you have informed them that you are filming them, then they have the right to have their name and face obscured from the film, i.e you must agree to protect their identity if it is their wish, but they should provide this wish in writting either before, or at least 14 days prior to publication, and it is down to the publisher to provide written notice of their intention to publish or use the evidence contained within the film.
