f5br11 art and design: digital video skills

What research did you do?

I researched alloa tower into 2 search engines, Google and Yahoo
I searched for many images of alloa tower just to see what it looks like and details and surroundings of the area
Some textures and angles i needed to know to take pictures of for angies art class and also for the alloa tower project
also done research on video/documentary makers how they film and what they do as their job

I looked up some info on the alloa tower its history and to its present day.

Give 3 examples of display and/or storage methods for Digital Video.

Displaying a video/film on a projector
Storing pictures/files in the network drive that can connect to any computer (for sharing purposes)
displaying on mobile phones and ipads
Displaying video/film and any other things on t.v's or pc monitors.
storage in ipads computers or even flash usb drives
Describe the process for creation and use of digital video sequences by three artist/designers.

Charles Atlas is a video artist and film director who also does lighting and set design.

He is a pioneer in developing media-dance, also called dance for camera. Media dance is work that is created directly for the camera. While Atlas’ primary artistic medium is video, he also began to experiment with live electronic performance in 2003.


Colin cambell

Campbell's work has been exhibited internationally since the mid-1970s, including the 1980 Venice Biennale. In 1990 the Winnipeg Art Gallery organized a national touring retrospective of his videotapes (1972–90). His first film, Skin, premiered at the Festival of Festivals (Toronto International Film Festival) in 1991.


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

Since 2004 he has produced over 350 video artworks under the titles ofMnemoria 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, andmusician.

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...
  • Research on Alloa Tower and watching documentaries on TV to see how it is done
  • Story-boarding angles areas and scripting
  • Getting permissions and ready to go film
  • Editing the video clips adding music and sorting out titles
  • Making the final video into a quicktime movie and putting on a DVD
