Story-Telling: The Cutting Edge: The Blair Witch Project, Dirs. Daniel Myrick, Eduardo Sánchez, 1999

Fig. 1 Movie Poster

The Blair Witch Project, Dirs. Daniel Myrick, Eduardo Sánchez, 1999

The basic storyline of this film is about three young students that follow a story about a witch to make a report for a school project. They stay in the woodland area where the stories were said to have originated to gather first hand footage to compile into their report. They plan to camp out for only one night but end up getting lost. During dark hours noises play on their fears and they end up losing the plot and the film ends with the easy option of a sequel. 

This film is another of those stylish fear fuelled movies that use no physical nemesis. It's all about the way they shot and edited the recorded footage to build the suspense and tension.
