Found Footage Research

I have embedded the trailer of "The Tapes" (2011) because this involves found footage meaning it is recorded by a held hand camera by the characters themselves. I have chosen to use found footage because it creates more of a tense mood and helps engage the audience to how the characters feel because it is like the audience is there with the characters. 

 

The Blair Witch project is another example of found footage and this follows the narrative of my film that three friends are haunted while being in the woods.
