Compilation film

A compilation film, or compilation movie is a film edited from previously released or archive footage, but compiled in a new order of appearance.

Sometimes it can also be older material shot again, but with a higher budget. The quality of these type of films is variable. Sometimes the archive footage is just edited behind each other, without adding anything new. Because of running time limits some footage can be shortened or expanded with short, new footage in an effort to make everything seamlessly flow together into each other. These transitions are not always unnoticeable.
