The Blair Witch Project

This film is similar to the Rumour project we are doing. This is because in both of the films there is a group of friends and both of the films there is something mysterious causing pain to people. There are three friends 2 of them are boys and one is a girl. The opening scene is set at the girl’s house and one of the boys zoom out from her face which makes her face clear and not blurry. The whole film is recorded by a hand camera which makes it different to other films. There is nothing wrong in the first 10 minutes of the film because they are not in the woods at the start. From the house they record there journey to the shopping centre where they buy things for the camp in the woods. We can see that they where planning to stay for only a night but then everything changes and the night turns in to four nights where one of the boys gets lost and dies and were the other two characters go crazy. The film stops when the last two characters enter a house and the camera freezes in side the house as the boy stands still with the girl’s screams and yells. Another similarity with our project is that the main characters are not aware of what is waiting for them. Also in both The Blair Witch Project and Rumour the friends plan doesn’t work out the way it has to be. For example the friends in the Blair Witch Project didn’t know that they were going to get killed and lost and the friends in Rumour are there to joke around and to scare people not to get die themselves. Some of the camera and angles and shots in the film are really interesting so we are going to include some of them as well. There where many zoom to bushes and the surroundings in the film so we are going to include this, this would match with out motto because our project is all about the bushes and the mysterious being there.
