Collaborative film making invites the idea of multiple donors and contributors to the film making and production process. It is an interactive way of puling people together and increasing the size of the production budget as there are more people to put money forward. A collaborative film team increases the ideas pool and the time restraints are easily met as there are numerous memebers to use.
With many films made in this way they are released under the laws of the Creative Commons.
The practice of Collaborative film making broadens the traditional ideas of authorship because here we have multiple ideas and contributors who enrich the creation process. With such an open style to production processes, it means that people are less bothered about promoting themselves as a creator and more about pushing and and sharing what they've created. In turn audiences are less intrigued in the "author" and more inspired by what they see. It also creates a space for unintentional authors.

Collaborative Film Making

Deptford.TV is a site where people local to the area are able to upload footage of events and projects happening in and around Deptford. This media is then available for redistribution and manipulation by all members and participants on the site. This type of website promotes the idea of creating producers out of the audience and is keen on creating social interaction between and within the community.

These are example of collaborative film making teams that exist online.
