My film is very strongly influenced by The Blair Witch Project. When I was planning my film, I wanted to have a hand held film to create verisimilitude. I took the idea of having a message about when the film was found and what it is about. However I adapted that idea by starting near the end of the film as oppose to the start of the film. This is because I feel if it was going to be made into a full film, it would be more interesting as people will want to watch on to find out the story behind what happened in the woods. Some people believed the Blair Witch was real due to the 'footage found' message and also the missing poster. This for me is very interesting as this made the fil a lot scarier as it felt realistic which allows the characters to emphasise with the main character. This as a result led me to creating a handheld film in the style of Blair Witch. I personally prefer horror films that rely on the storyline to make the scary as appose to jump scares, this again also influenced my decision to make a handheld horror as Blair Witch was similar to the style of horror films I prefer.
