Collaborative Film Making
Started in 2005, the Deptford TV project looked at collecting and assembling AV material which focused on the regeneration of Deptford. This was a collaborative process where community members, video artists, film makers, visual artists and students were asked to become contributors, make statements, leave feedback and critiques on the regeneration.

The material has been made available on the Deptford TV data-base with an open content license.

Collaborative film-making looks at creating movies using the input from multiple film makers who often do not know each other through their work. The series of videos are often stitched together by a third party who will select and edit the clips in order to result in a coherent end piece.

'The Man with a Movie Camera' or 'Living Russia' is a documentary film by Dziga Vertov. The film is noted for being the first to utilise a range of filming techniques, such as double exposure.
