Final Composition

The final film storyline:

It started with narratives and related pictures on the background. The the traditions that managed to be filmed are:

1. When you are out at night, make your friends called you with your nickname. In case the ghost remember your full name, since if they called it out and you answered them, the spirits will come and get you.

2. Do not take pictures at night for if you accidentally shoot a spirit/s in the photo, it would mean that you are taking the spirit home.

3. And do not sleep on a double bed size alone and on one side. Because in case you turn around, there might be somebody sleeping beside you.

And at the end of the film, there is a testimonial from the other group member, Peony. She is retelling the story of what happened to her a few years ago when her grandmother died. Apparently, according to the traditions she is supposed to burn a shoe for her grandmother. But, as the younger generation, she did not really care about this kind of beliefs and so she did it anyhow. Though, it is a wrong choice. She did burn the shoe, but in the wrong size and thus her grandmother started to appear in her dream. Peony's grandmother kept appearing in her dream until Peony told her mum about it. At the end, she burn the shoe again (right size), this time with her mother watched over her, making sure she did it all correctly. Afterwards, her grandmother never really appeared in her dreams anymore.
