Fort Lee, New Jersey is significant to Frankenstein because Arthur Edeson started his filmmaking career there in 1911 as a camera operator. He later became the cinematographer for Frankenstein (1931). I found this information from the American Film Institute (AFI) Catalog, a film research website. This source is an example of low barriers to entry because the information is online and easy for people to find. Mapping this location on COVE lets students in this class build on what I found by showing the connection between Fort Lee, Arthur Edeson, and Frankenstein.
