I was inspired by these two films by the way in which they were filmed; they both use hand-held cameras that give the films a more personal and rustic feel. Obviously with no budget i would never be able to achieve a high quality finish so my options were limited, but like these films i could try to show the movement of the character behind the camera, hopefully without making anyone watching it feel sick- as it was reported some of the audience of Cloverfield felt! Both films are also of a similar genre to that which i hoped my film would be and they set themselves apart from other films by being more original by formatting the film in a doctumentary style.
Here is an 11 minute clip of the start of The Blair Witch Project, and a trailer for Cloverfield.
