Blair Witch Trailer

This is an interesting scinareo where a documentary is transformed into a feature movie. everything from the setting to the equipment and characters are all real: there is no crew present, everything is filmed on handheld camcorders to add to the effect. this is all deliberate to make the concepts seem real as they would be in a documentary.
This also means that the film is low buget, without the need of famous actors, sets and equipment, which made it both more possible and realistic at the same time. All of the footage that is said to be 'found' on the cameras is edited into a feature length narrative which completes the transfer from documentary to film.



The Trailer itself consists of small clips; again from the 'found' footage edited with with copy and non diagetic sounds to add to the suspense for the audience. this is done in such a way that it still makes the narrative believable.
