Blair Witch Project - analysis.

The film starts with the titles. Already, the black and white gives off a 'home-made' feel. The font that is used is typewriter-esque and alligned to the left hand side - like written by inexperienced film makers, to give the effect of realism. Next, a short summary appears on screen, again in black and white; flikering, to create the illusion of a slide show or home-made film. This gives some bakground information on what the film is about and again, emphasises the illusion of real life. This is something that we could definitely incorporate in our film. The titles then cut to a close-up of a girls face. This is blurred and when hearing a male from behind the camera, we know he his fliming her himself. He zooms out for the picture to be clearer. These effects all add to the home-movie style.
