Genre


For my short film, I have decided to pick the genres of "psychological thriller" and "found footage". I have picked these two genres as found footage is one of my favourite genres, and I have watched many films of this genre:
The Blair Witch Project (1999; Dirs.  Daniel Myrick & Eduardo Sánchez, US)
Paranormal Activity (2007; Dir. Oren Peli,  US)
Cloverfield (2008; Dir. Matt Reeves, US)
Quarantine (2008; Dir. John Erick, US)
Apollo 18 (2011; Dir.  Gonzalo López-Gallego, US)
Chronicle (2012; Dir. Josh Trank, US)

I also believe that it is an ideal film to do on a low-budget (Paranormal Activity had a budget of $15,000 (around £9,300), as the drama of the film comes directly from the characters' emotions, through the use of performance and shaky cameras (cinematography)
