Chronicle
Dir. Josh Trank
2012
US
This film trailer has inspired me as it stars, and is targeted at, teenagers. Although its genres are superhero/found footage, and does not incorporate any psychological thriller elements, I believe I can draw inspiration from the particular emotions of the characters for my film.
The Blair Witch Project Trailer
Dirs. Daniel Myrick & Eduardo Sánchez
1999
US
This film is one of the most well known psychological thriller/found footage films in existence. Like my college film trailer, it was made on a low budget.
This film also inspired the name of my film, "The Project", and has also added some plot elements, such as the story of film students investigating strange phenomena (in TBWP, it is the eponymous Blair Witch, in my film, it is an unnamed murderer).
Paranormal Activity Trailer
Dir. Oren Peli
2007
US
Like TBWP, Paranormal Activity is an incredibly well known psychological thriller/found footage film. It has spawned multiple sequels, with the original costing only $15,000 (approximately £9,377) barely nothing compared to the multi-million dollar blockbusters of contemporary cinema. With similar 'paranormal phenomena' themes to Blair Witch, I can take the horror elements and place them into my film.
The Last Horror Movie
Dir. Julian Richards
2004
UK
TLHM is the only British film in this list. A very little-known, low-budget British film, this film has inspired the 'home-made' aspect of this film, with the direct rapport between Max Parry, the main character, and the audience.
