Research

Today I have been looking up different types of Urban legends and people who work in this genre.

People who have done films in the Genre of Horror include...

Wes Craven.
John Carpenter.

Below is an example of one Urban Legend that has Been done many times before. The legend of Mary Worth aka Bloody Mary.

This is Relevant to what I am doing as it shows,
1. Past work that other People have done.
2. It shows us how they have brought the Legend to Life.
3. It shows that anyone can make a film about an Urban Legend be it the Candy Man, Bloody Mary, or even Black Aggie.

Formatting Script

This week I have been formatting the script. and it is nearly done. hopefully next week I shall start to hold auditions for the cast. I shall Also be pitching My Ideas to Sarah, Harvey, Sam and Robin. after i have held the auditions I shall be telling each character what I would like their costume to look like. e.g. Jennifer in a White Silk Dress, if not silk a plain white dress will do. Jack's Character will have 2 costumes one for the Ball and funeral and Jeans and T-shirt.

Update On EPQ Log

Last Week i started writing my script for my EPQ and have managed to do two pages so far.

My EPQ is a short film entitled the legend of the St Clare Ghost and it is based on The Urban Legend titled Resurrection Mary. The legend is about a girl named Mary(obviously otherwise it wouldn't be called Resurrection Mary) who storms out of a ballroom from her pompous boyfriend and gets killed by a passing car in Archer avenue and has since been seen walking along that road towards Resurrection Cemetary after one last Night among the Living.

My Inspirations for making a film like this are...

1.John Carpenter: One of the masters of horror.
2.Hideo Nakata:
3.Wes Craven:
