Since the main aspect of our film was having our main character write in a diary, we needed a diary for our film. We went out and bought a diary and then stuck a label on the front saying "Chloe's Diary" so we could clearly specify to the audience that the Diary is Chloe's and that the main character is Chloe. However, the audience would assume that Chloe has been writing in the diary prior to when the storyline of the film starts so we had to make it seem realistic. To do this, we wrote in numerous pages in the diary, writing fake events that may of happened to Chloe before our storyline began. It would most likely look suspicious to our audience if Chloe just started writing in a brand new diary just as abnormal events started taking place as it would be expected that she would have been writing in it prior to this.

We also had to make it seem realistic that Chloe and Amy were friends/cousins and had known each other prior to the strange events. To do this, we had our actors, Louise and Leah, take various photos together which we could use in our film to emphasise this to the audience.
