Footage techniques: For a vulnerable crowd

Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sanchez writer and director of The Blair Witch Project created an audience that believed their ¨Real footage¨ of witches to be true. Lots of ingenious offscreen threats were discussed on camera, creating immediate suspense for the audience, this was a very unique film in the 19th century as it was the first to use such techniques. The backstory for the film is a legend fabricated by these two men which are detailed in Curse of the Blair Witch, a mockumentary broadcast on the SciFi Channel in 1999 prior to the release of the Blair Witch Project. This film was nonetheless cobbled together on an unbelievably low budget, using what they portrayed as ¨found footage¨ which in that century was only popular in cult films, with this a marketing campaign in the cinema world was created and outdid any other film that was put out in 1999.
