Looking back at your preliminary task (the continuity editing task), what do you feel you have learnt in the progression from it to full product?
This process has taught us many things. Firstly, we have learnt how to edit the clips into a full opening sequence in a program that was not necessarily familiar to us. Furthermore, handling the camera boosted our technical skills by very much being forced to 'learn on the job'. Any problems that arose only made us more confident in solving them next time. By having hands-on, practical use with the camera for a long period of time, we developed our camera angles by learning the positioning of different shots.

During today's lesson we've been doing our pre-filming preparation ready for the weekend. For example, the list of props and costumes has been divided between us so we're all responsible to bring certain things on the day. We're also checking with our actors/actresses involved that they can be at the set for the date and time we've decided. Unfortunately, the person who agreed to do the make-up is now not available for when we are filming. As an alternative, there is only one shot of the main character's face where the make-up would be used, so we can film that one shot at a later date. We have also collected the camera and tripod equipment from the technician base.
The remainder of the time left this lesson has been tying up lose ends such as getting our continuity up together and doing varies things on the blog. Once we've filmed the material, we will want to focus solely on the editing process so we are creating our titles and fonts etc in advance so we can simply add them in during the editing stage. Our attention to detail in preparation for the filming has been carried out to the letter to ensure no last minute concerns or panics. For example we have checked the weather forecast.
Next lesson, we will be continuing with the titles and any last minute arrangements.

Planning/ Research Thrillers and Horrors!!!!!
Thriller
-A genre of literature, film and television.
-Uses suspense, tension and excitement
-Subgenres: psychological thriller, political thriller and paranoid thriller
-Red herrings and cliff hangers are used extensively
Horror
-intended to frighten, inducing feelings of horror and terror.
-creates an eerie atmosphere
-can be either super natural or non super natural

Mary Harron
Mary Harron (born January 12, 1953) is a Canadian filmmaker and screenwriter best known for her films I Shot Andy Warhol, American Psycho and The Notorious Bettie Page.[
Born in Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada,[2] Harron grew up with a family that was entrenched in the world of film and theater. Her father, Donald Harron, is an actor, author, director, comedian, and writer. Harron’s first stepmother, Virginia Leith, was discovered by Stanley Kubrick and acted in one of his first films. She also had featured roles in other movies such as the 1956 version of A Kiss Before Dying and The Brain That Wouldn't Die. Leith's brief acting career partly inspired Harron's interest in making The Notorious Bettie Page. Harron’s stepfather is Stephen Vizinczey, a novelist and screen writer, and another of her stepmothers is the singer Catherine McKinnon. Harron’s sister, Kelley Harron, is an actor and producer.
Harron moved to England when she was thirteen and later attended St Anne's College, Oxford University.[3] Whilst in England she dated Tony Blair, who would later become the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. She then moved to New York City and was part of its 1970s punk scene. She helped start and write for Punk magazine as a music journalist – she was the first journalist to interview the Sex Pistols for an American publication. During the 1980s she was a drama critic for The Observer in London for a time.
In addition to her films, Harron was also the executive producer of The Weather Underground, a documentary looking at the radical activists of the 1970s. She has also worked in television, directing episodes of Oz, Six Feet Under, Homicide: Life on the Street, The L Word and Big Love. She is currently developing a film based on the book Please Kill Me which details the 1970s New York punk scene of which she was so much a part.
She lives in New York with her husband, filmmaker John C. Walsh, and their two children.
David Cronenberg
David Paul Cronenberg, OC, FRSC (born March 15, 1943)[1] is a Canadian filmmaker, screenwriter and actor. He is one of the principal originators of what is commonly known as the body horror or venereal horror genre. This style of filmmaking explores people's fears of bodily transformation and infection. In his films, the psychological is typically intertwined with the physical. In the first half of his career, he explored these themes mostly through horror and science fiction, although his work has since expanded beyond these genres. He has been called "the most audacious and challenging narrative director in the English-speaking world
Born in Toronto, Canada, Cronenberg was the son of Esther (née Sumberg), a musician, and Milton Cronenberg, a writer and editor.[3] His family has been described as "a nurturing middle class family."[4] He began writing as a child and wrote constantly. He attended high school at Harbord Collegiate Institute. A keen interest in science, especially botany and lepidopterology, led him to enter the Honours Science program the University of Toronto in 1963, but he switched to Honors English Language and Literature later in his first year. Cronenberg's fascination with the film Winter Kept Us Warm (1966) by classmate David Secter sparked his interest in film. He began frequenting film camera rental houses, learning art of filmmaking and made two 16mm films (Transfer and From the Drain). Inspired by the New York underground film scene, he founded the Toronto Film Co-op with Iain Ewing and Ivan Reitman. After taking a year off to travel in Europe, he returned to Canada in 1967, graduating from University College at the top of his class.
