Alloa Tower

We started planning our Alloa Tower trip in Johns class using the internet and watching the pervious years work on Alloa Tower, We then had to decided what part of the tower we were to present and film.
We researched that part and planned out a script before to got to go film we had to make a storyboard which we decided we would film from the bottom and work our way up to the roof which was the part i was doing.
We went out to get pictures of Alloa Tower ourselves, we could only get the outside we used these pictures in Angies class using mono printing.
We then got to go and film our documentary then took them back to the class and edited them so we could put them onto a DVD.
We still had to make the CD cover which we made in Brians class using photoshop elements and using one of the pictures we took a couple of weeks earlier.

2. Peter Campus - 1923 Three Transitions - He uses chromakey processors and video mixers to create videos in the studio.

3. Douglas Gordon - 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.
