Go and film defector (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

turncoat

'defector' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'go and film' is the wordplay.
'go' becomes 'turn' ('turn' can be a synonym of 'go'**).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'film' becomes 'coat' (I've seen this in other clues).
'turn'+'coat'='TURNCOAT'

(Other definitions for turncoat that I've seen before include "treacherous as one?" , "Traitor with reversed garment" , "Rat" , "'Renegade, traitor (8)'" , "One betraying party" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
