Ingolstadt, Germany is significant to the adaptation of the movie "Frankenstein" because it is where Victor Frankenstein attends university, and it is here, where he eventually creates the monster. I found this information from the City of Ingolstadt's website, which explains the connection between the city and Mary Shelley's novel. This source is an example of a platform gatekeepr because it is an official city website where information is researched and published by the organization. Mapping this location on COVE adds a grassroots layer to a story usually told top-down.

Dudley, GB is significant to Frankenstein because it brings an element of theatrics to Hollywood in the US. During the English renaissance, many forms of entertainment for associated with plays and performances. I got this information from the Shakespearian Student, where it mentions how Frankenstein was influenced by Shakespear's work on Hamnet. This source is an example of Gatekeeping because it is a professional website with verified information made by educated individuals. Mapping this place on cove shows the cultural diversity that was incorporated into Frankenstein.

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.

Steeplechase Pier is significant to Frankenstein because this is what got her her role for Frankenstein, casting her as a perfect role to the part. I found this information from La Times. This source is an example of consumer v.s. participatory culture, since it is posted by a big group, and the average person can't give feedback or threads on it. Mapping this location on COVE creates a visible place a "gatekeeper" platform might otherwise bury, especially since the location doesn't technically exist anymore, as it is something else now.

Savoy Theatre is significant to Frankenstein because the actor who plays Henry earned his role by being seen in this very theatre. He spent many of his early years acting here.

Mapping this location on COVE shows the vast number of places Universal went to find the right actors and producers for the film.

Bibliography:

Siberia is significant to Jane Eyre because its bleak, cold, isolated nature sets the tone for the rest of the novel and immerses Jane Eyre within the Gothic genre. This information comes from a blog on The Word Press. Siberia illustrates Gothic conventions because of its vast, desolate nature. Siberia appears in the first chapter of Jane Eyre, before the reader is introduced to Jane herself.

Mos Espa is significant to the adaptation of Star Wars because it represents the planet Tatooine, where Anakin Skywalker grew up and where much of his story begins. I found information about the filming locations from a movie locations website. This source is an example of platform as a gatekeeper because not just anyone can post information on the website, and content has to go through a proces before being added or changed. Mapping this location on COVE allows future students to build on what I found and learn more about how real world locations were adapted to create Tatooine.

The Corleone House is significant to "The Godfather" because, it's where Vito (the original godfather) would host meetings and where eventually murders would take place on anyone that overstepped him. I found this information from a wiki fandom called, "The Godfather Wiki." This source is an example of a collective authorship, it was directed by Francis Ford Coppola but, he also had 33 other credited people on crew and this movie couldn't have been done just by himself.
