The Lady`s Tower

On a cold but very clear day I took this picture,after almost not finding the place.Funny thing switching off the sat nav helped me more.

This was a summer house and changing room for Lady Janet Anstruther of Elie House,built in 18th century in the village called Elie,located on the east coast of Fife,Scotland.


When she went bathing-naked, apparently she would change and a bellman would walk around the streets warning local people to stay away.She must have been a very strong person,dealing with cold North Sea water.I wonder what happened to all those people who were coming down to the beach at that time.No wonder that Lady Janet and her husband were unpopular among the local people.


There is an interesting story about a fortune-teller who put a curse on Lady Janet that no more tan six generations of her family would live in Elie House.


The prediction became true.

Brief

Documentary

I was doing a research on Alloa Tower specially on Great Hall. Not too much information were found on the internet, so that made my research kind of difficoult.

I started with my research on wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&redirs=1&search=documentary+makers&fulltext=Search&ns0=1

found many documentary artist, such as

Donn Alan "D. A." Pennebaker, his latest documentary is called “Kings of pastry”, still active artist.

Kate Blewett ,she is best known for her documentaries on human rights abuses , such as “The Dying Rooms”.

Nick Davies , an investigative journalist and documentary maker ,and been named Journalist of the Year . His latest work is called “The School Report: Why Britain`s Schools Are Failing”.

I found a helpful a blog made by Down & Dirty DV

and the other one is from facebook.com , Guerilla Film Makers , and 1504 people signed up for their site.

Digital Video could be store using different methods ,such as Television ,Video CD , Projector ,Computer ,File Sharing(Napster ,Gnutella ,Bit Torrent).

After I done with my research ,I made a script. Our group went to visit Alloa Tower,set up the camera ,then I started filming. Edited in iMovie added sound effect ,and other effects.

The finished product was displayed on DVD, and made a packaging.
