Collaborative Docs. (Stage 2 in Fellowship in Creative & Performing Arts originally entitled 'Chronicle 2010' now known as CollabDocs.)

Collaborative Study（第二阶段）是Collabstudy研究项目（以前称为“Chronicle 2010”）的第二阶段。整个项目着眼于纪录片实践如何利用被称为“Web 2.0”的网络技术。协作组织特别关注参与性媒体和协作。这项基于实践的研究探讨了如何将发布在You Tube等网站上的“本土视频”结合起来讲述更大的故事，以及制作人在将主题参与式视频结合起来产生有意义的效果方面可能扮演什么角色。在第二阶段，研究员将制作两个不同的基于网络的参与性纪录片。第一，你幸福吗？（第二阶段）-看看今天的幸福意味着什么。第二个-四个轮子好吗？- 审视我们对汽车的爱恨关系。这两个项目都将以行动呼吁开始，并将邀请不同的公众成员贡献视频内容。这些贡献将被编辑，并在设计的网站上突出显示，以便视频与相关的在线内容形成吸引人的对比。后者的内容将通过可访问的提要来获取。这些内容可能包括照片共享网站Flickr的剧照或BBC的交通新闻。这些不同的来源将被结合起来，产生一种新的纪录片，其中的意义不是由一个单一的导演的观点固定在线性形式，而是反映了多个视角，并随着新的数据进入系统而变化。该项目的创意挑战将是设计元素流和网络界面，以便观众可以享受令人满意的体验;它结合了讲故事，互动和易于消化的信息。将制作一张DVD，反映研究金的意见、批判性反思和调查结果，并展示网络制作。研究员还将在研究金剩下的三年里，特别是在最后一年，执行一项面对面活动方案，与学术界和工业界有关各方分享研究金工作和研究结果。

Colllaborative Docs (Stage 2) is the second stage of the CollabDocs research project (formerly known as 'Chronicle 2010'.) The overall project looks at how documentary practice can take advantage of the generation of web technologies known as 'Web 2.0'. CollabDocs is concerned in particular with participatory media and collaboration. The practice-based research examines how the 'vernacular videos' that get posted, for example on You Tube, might be combined to tell larger stories, and what role a producer might play in bringing themed participatory videos together to meaningful effect. In Stage 2 the Fellow will produce two distinct web-based participatory documentaries. The first - Are you happy? (Phase 2) - looks at what happiness means today. The second - Four Wheels Good? - looks at our love/hate relationship to cars. Both projects will start with a call to action, and diverse members of the public will be invited to contribute video content. These contributions will be edited and highlights presented in websites designed so that the video is contrasted in an engaging way with related online content. The latter content will be drawn in through publically accessible feeds. Such content could include stills from the photo sharing site Flickr or traffic news from the BBC. These various sources will be combined to produce a new kind of documentary, where the meaning is not fixed in a linear form by the viewpoint of a single director, but reflects multiple perspectives, and shifts as new data enters the system. The creative challenge for the project will be to design the flow of elements and the web interface so that the viewer can enjoy a satisfying experience; which combines storytelling, interaction and easily digestible information. A DVD will be produced to reflect the fellowship observations, critical reflection and findings, and showcase the web productions. The Fellow will also pursue a programme of in-person events and activities throughout the three remaining years of the Fellowship, but in particular in the final year, through which she will share the fellowship work and findings with interested parties in academia and industry.
