Stuff for Big john.....

Name: Fleabag 506088

To research the Alloa Tower project I used the Internet to search for information, and also went down to take some photos of the outside of the Tower prior to the actual visit when we would be filming. There are several websites about the tower but none of them have that much information about it on them.

The creation of digital video sequences...

Douglas Gordon (born 20 September, 1966) is a Scottish artist.

Much of Gordon's work is seen as being about memory and uses repetition in various forms. He uses material from the public realm and also creates performance-based videos. His work often overturns traditional uses of video by playing with time elements and employing multiple monitors.

One of his best-known art works is 24 Hour Psycho (1993) which slows down Alfred Hitchcock's film Psycho so that it lasts twenty four hours.

Shaun Wilson (born Melbourne, 1972) is an Australian artist and film maker.

Since 2004 he has produced over 350 video artworks under the titles of Mnemoria series, The Memory Palace series, Filmic Memorials series I-IV and Uber Memoria I-VII/Proto. These particular works that Wilson himself describes as ‘video paintings’ explore the nature of memory and place through the moving image and its subsequent effect on autobiographical memory. In doing so, Wilson has deconstructed family home movies, vintage 8mm film, and found 9mm film and from late 2006 onwards he has incorporated these filmic images with High Definition Video (HDV) to convey tensions of fractured memory.

Sadie Benning (born April 11, 1973) is a video maker, visual artist, and musician.

She first made her name in the early 1990s as a teenage video maker from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Her earliest works, made from the time she was 15, were shot with the Fisher-Price Pixelvision camera, which recorded pixelated, black and white video images onto standard audio cassettes. The Fischer-Price PXL-2000 camera used in her early works that brought her to the spotlight was a Christmas gift from her father, experimental filmmaker James Benning. At first Sadie was standoffish to the PixelVision camera. "I thought, 'This is a piece of shit. It's black-and-white. It's for kids. He'd told me I was getting this surprise. I was expecting a camcorder." The majority of her shorts combined performance, experimental narrative, handwriting, and cut-up music to explore, among other subjects, gender and sexuality.

The process that we followed to produce our film is as follows...

1. Research on Alloa Tower and watching documentaries on TV to see how it is done
2. Storyboarding what we are going to shoot and scripting it
3. Getting permission to film and going down to film
4. Editing the video clips, adding music and sorting out titles
5. making the final video into a quicktime movie and putting on a DVD
