Online Collaboration

Deptford.TV is an online audiovisual database primarily collecting media assets around the Deptford area, in South-East London, UK, in collaboration with SPC.org media lab, Bitnik.org, the OWN, Southspace and Goldsmiths College. Since September 2005 Deptford.TV functions as an open, collaborative platform that allows artists, film-makers, researchers and participants of the local workshops in and around Deptford, and also beyond Deptford, to store, share, re-edit and redistribute their footage and projects. This raw material as well as edited media content is available on the Deptford.TV database under an open content license such as the Free Art License, the Creative Commons SA-BY License, and the GNU General Public License.

The open and collaborative nature of the Deptford.TV project demonstrates a form of shared media practice in two ways: audiences become producers by submitting their own footage, and the database enables the contributors to interact with each other. This research operates in the context of a European political discourse, where the main concern is counter-cultural approaches to non-mandatory collaboration and contractual agreements. FLOSSTV (Free, Libra, Open Source Software TV) covers a broad range of practices, from television via documentary up to media arts productions.

Description of the class.
Jump behind the lens of a camera and make stories and characters come alive! In this course, students will become well versed in the world of film. This class is perfect for anyone that has a love of movies and television, and interested in how to make films. Students will learn and be exposed to the history behind the creation of the film camera and moving pictures. Through various exercises, the class will start to create, write, plan and storyboard their own films. All roles of a film crew, including acting, will be filled by the class so that all students can experience all aspects of film production, in front and behind the camera. Lighting for film, camera framing, and directing for film will all be taught in the class. The hands on experience will allow students to go home and create movies of their own! The two week course will conclude with a showing of the finished product. All students will receive a DVD of their work. Bring your imagination and story ideas, and get ready to make a movie!
