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

协作文档（第二阶段）是CollabDocs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”的新一代网络技术。CollabDocs特别关注参与式媒体和协作。这项以实践为基础的研究考察了发布的“本地视频”（例如在youtube上）如何结合起来讲述更大的故事，以及制作人在将主题参与性视频整合到一起产生有意义的效果方面可能扮演的角色。在第二阶段，研究员将制作两部不同的网络参与性纪录片。第一个——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？-看看我们对汽车的爱恨关系。这两个项目都将以呼吁行动开始，并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网站上展示，以便视频与相关的在线内容以一种引人入胜的方式进行对比。后一种内容将通过可公开访问的提要引入。这些内容可能包括来自照片分享网站Flickr的剧照或来自BBC的交通新闻。这些不同的来源将被组合在一起，产生一种新的纪录片，其中的意义不是由单个导演的观点以线性形式固定，而是反映多个角度，并随着新数据进入系统而变化。该项目的创意挑战将是设计元素的流动和网络界面，使观众能够享受到令人满意的体验；它结合了讲故事、互动和易于理解的信息。将制作DVD，以反映研究团契的观察、批判性反思和发现，并展示网络制作。在奖学金剩余的三年，特别是最后一年，研究员还将开展面对面的活动和计划，通过这一年，她将与学术界和工业界感兴趣的各方分享奖学金的工作和发现。

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.
