Watching Blair Witch

As it is the half term, we all decided to get together as a group and sit down and watching the movie that we are most interested in. "The Blair witch project", personally i thought that this film was very interesting, i liked the way it was filmed with the point of view/steady cam shots the whole way through. I also liked the idea of there being two cameras, one in colour and one in BLACK and WHITE. When watching "The Blair witch project" we all looked at the many different camera angles that were used, as the whole film (apart from the parts that were 'documented' were in steady cam the angles weren't very good or they weren't a big mixture. There were a lot of long and medium shots as they are the easiest to use especially if you are running all the time. There were a few close ups, but these close ups where created by zooming the lens in when one of the characters was doing something. This meant that the quality of the picture wasn't that great and it made it seem as if the film was just a random filming, (making the audience feel as if the story that was given to them, that is was all real and that the film was recovered was all true).
