Diary Entry

9 January 2012
we recorded the scene of when Momin is with the psychiatrist, traumatised by what had happened to his friends, we recorded the footage in the school medical room because it has a hollow atmosphere which will make it more believable, before all this we have an establishing shot of St Clements hospital to make the audience think that he's in a mental hospital.

15 January 2012
We recorded the main footage of when the 3 students (Mizan, Moe, Shahin) get lost inside the forest. we faced a problem because it was dark and we did not have a torch light to see all the footage and the cam corder did not have night vision. we then came to the conclusion to use our phone lights as it is not that powerful, this created a mysterious sense because not much was visible. we thought this could keep the audience alarmed because it would make them unaware when something was going to happen. this will keep the audience interested in our opening because it will keep them thinking.

16th January 2012
we recorded an establishing shot of St Clements hospital.

23 january 2012
we recorded the webcam scene where Momin was talking through the webcam to Mizan. He is traumatised by what had happen in the forest and can't seem to forget about it.

29 january 2012
We recorded the webcam scene where I (Mizan) was talking through the webcam to Momin, I then meet the killer which kills me but this is not shown we just have a sense when momin see's me got and then see's the murder looking back at him through the webcam. We faced many problems on the day for example we did not have a tri-pod to keep the camera steady however we found another solution to overcome our problem. We used a shoe box which we felt worked very effectively. we used a black cloak, black gloves and mask for the killer (Akram) and the victim (mizan) wore casual clothing we felt as if he should be relaxed. for the props we used a knife, laptop and furniture, we felt that the setting should be in a bedroom because it will be more suitable.

16 March 2012
we recorded the end of our opening sequence were it shows the equilibrium and the four friends are all together, this is before all the disequilibrium started. as we don't want to give to give to much of the story away at the beginning.
