The use of hand held cameras in the 'Blair Witch Project' was what inspired us to incorporate it into our main film, and this was based on the fact when we watched the 'Blair Witch' we found using this method of filming created a scarier atmosphere for the audience. In addition, watching everything through the eyes of the characters can be quite daunting and very unnerving, especially in a horror film, since jump scares are very different when the monster/bad guy/ villain isn't looking into the camera which doesn't make it as scary in comparison to the monster/bad guy/ villain looking at you (into the camera).
Despite the fact the 'Blair Witch Project' used hand held camera work and this is what inspired us, we thought by using a tripod for some of our filming was a nice and personal addition to make our film more unique in comparison to the 'Blair Witch'.
THE RING
us to use a the sinister and discrete child in our main film. Even though you don't see our antagonist, when we first began filming an idea we had was to film the child skipping around a well in a white gown. We consciously used the idea about the child because of the ring, however we didn't knowingly use the idea of the well and we came up with this ourselves. We didn't end up using any of this footage because we were then were influenced by the 'Blair witch' to use more hand held camera filming methods.
