We filmed the beginning scene of the film where my character gets mysterious calls from her 'dead' best friend.
We did a medium shot from behind my back where I am writing on my notepad as this is something a teenager would be doing.
As I picked up the phone, we moved the camera to do a close up of my face as we wanted the audience to focus on my shocked facial expression.
We also did a close shot of the computer screen where there is a picture of me and my friend this is emphasize how close my character was with her friend.

Filming in the graveyard
Today, we have decided to use our 3 hours media lesson filming in the graveyard at Stoke Newington.
This was supposed to be the part where my character visits her dead friends' graveyard, but then starts to hear voices and turns round, thinking she's seeing her.
Rifath and Mylinh were the ones who were mainly doing the camerawork as I was portraying the character.
We used a long shot while I was walking to the grave to establish the setting also to show the audience that my character regularly visits this grave.
Mylinh did a panning shot from down to up as i was walking to the grave so the footsteps were shown to symbolize that the atmosphere was eerie.

Lesson dated Wednesday February 4th 2009 mylinh's house
Lesson dated Wednesday February 4th 2009
Today we supposed to film at the graveyard but due to weather conditions we were unable to film there. Instead we filmed at MyLinh’s house; this is the first part of our thriller, when Samah is getting ready to leave the house. In this part of the thriller we are establishing the friendship between the two. Also in this scene to add an element of thriller, we also filmed Samah thinking that she saw MyLinh, this will make the audience wonder who that girl was and why was she being imagined. This will automatically raise questions for the audience and create a thrilling mood. I did a lot of close ups and over the shoulder shots. Also we have tried to film shots that may help when we will want to do match cutting for the final. Our next filming will be on Friday 6th February 2009 at Stoke Newington Graveyard.

Unable to film
Due to bad weather conditions we were unable to film on Tuesday at MyLinh's house; therefore we will be filming at her house next week Tuesday. For tomorrows shooting we will be filming in Stoke Newington graveyard, that is if the weather allows us to film there.
Wednesday 28th January 2009 & Friday 30th January 2009
My group and I started filming on Wednesday. We went to Finsbury park and did a few shots their. This is the scene where Samah sees her “dead” friend MyLinh. We did some long shots and a lot of over the shoulder shots from Samah’s perspective. On Wednesday the weather was rainy and it our shooting didn’t go according to plan, but we did manage to get quite a few good shots. We returned to Finsbury Park on Friday and we did a few more shots. After filming in Finsbury park we realised that we may not want to use the shots we shot at Finsbury park, however we have closed the option completely on whether to use the shots we took or not. Also in case we did use those shots we decided to wrap the ending of the thriller. This included filming with hand held camera work. I had to go around Samah, while she thinks that she keeps on hearing MyLinh whispering her name. we did not use the tripod as much because we saw that hand held camera was easier and provided a thrilling effect. Our next location to film will be at MyLinh’s house on Tuesday 3rd February.

Filming the park scene- Samah Ibtes
For the second time, me, Rifath and Mylinh went to the park scene to film me walking out of the graveyard where my character keeps seeing glances of her 'dead' friend.
The weather was cold and below freezing point which made it difficult for us to film our scene, hand held in which we managed to do so anyway.
We have finished now filming the park scene.
