  • Raploch Stories: Continuity and Innovation for Television
    Raploch Stories: continuity and innovation for television documentary production Alistair James Scott October 2013 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Edinburgh Napier University for the award of Doctor of Philosophy Acknowledgements Thanks to my supervisor, Professor Chris Atton, for his support, his enthusiasm and his critical insight. The thesis is a result of the hard work which went into the production of the television documentary programmes, Raploch Stories and Raploch Stories Revisited. Thanks to all the programme contributors, the people of Raploch, Stirling, who allowed us into their lives and let us film their stories. The research could not have been carried out without the collaboration of the dedicated original production team including: Allan Young, sound recordist; Beatrix Alexander, assistant producer; Gary Scott, film editor; John Cobban, post-production sound; and, throughout every stage of the process, Douglas Campbell, co-producer, cameraman and partner in this venture. My sincere thanks and appreciation to everyone involved. I also wish to thank my family, my wife Carmen, and my children, Andrew and Rosemary, for their support, both when the programmes were in production, and during the period when I was writing up this critical appraisal. I dedicate the thesis to the memory of my daughter, Kirsten, who also lived through the production period, and later discussed with me the ideas of developing this creative practice as a research project. Kirsten died in 2011, just twenty five years old. She remains our inspiration. i Abstract This thesis provides an ‘insider account’ of the process of making contemporary ‘observational’ documentaries from within the broadcasting industry.

  • Umpire Stories
    So, You Want to Be an Umpire? David Vincent Modern umpires like to be invisible on the field and consider it a good day when no one remembers them after a game. There have been days, though, that are memorable ones. Here are some of those days. *** In 1882, National League Umpire Dick Higham, a former player, was expelled from the game for colluding with gamblers. He had been the first umpire to wear a mask on the field. Higham umpired his last game on June 22, 1882 in Buffalo. *** On June 19, 1896, the Chicago Colts (now Cubs) were in Cleveland to play the Spiders. The latter team was well known around the league for acting in a rowdy manner. In the seventh inning, Umpire Tom Lynch fined and ejected Cleveland Captain Patsy Tebeau, who refused to leave. Tebeau instead rushed at Lynch to assault the umpire but the two were separated by other players. Lynch refused to work the rest of that game and left the field. After a long delay, the game resumed with Chicago player Con Daily calling the pitches and Cleveland player Cy Young making the calls on the bases. Tebeau remained in the game and Chicago’s Cap Anson protested the game because Tebeau remained in the contest even though he had been ejected. Chicago won the game, 8-3, so the protest was not lodged. After the game, Lynch told a reporter: “I suppose I should not have permitted my indignation to get the better of me, but after all there are things that pass human endurance, and one of them surely is to be called vile names.” Lynch refused to work in Cleveland after that and did not until 1898.

Everything from new passports, flags and currency to different dialling codes and time zones were flouted as conceivable side-effects of Britain ‘breaking up’. The status of several prominent British institutions such as the BBC, Tate Britain and the British Museum were also considered1. When asked his opinion on the implications of this the director of the British Museum is quoted as saying, ‘the British Museum is the first cultural evidence of the union.

The project establishes a critical dialogue between university-based Film Studies and the archive sector, via a series of case studies of influential groups, individuals, and movements. Prefaced by a chapter entitled 'Theorising Amateur Film: Limitations and Possibilities' detailing the domination of amateur cinema studies by discussion of the 'home mode', I suggest that work to date has obscured an understanding of films made by cine-clubs within the highly organised film culture of the British amateur cine movement.
