The Blair Witch Project Film Analysis research: 

An 1999... film

The start of the film was the title sequence which gave us the names of particular directors that are to do with the film, the background being black and the writing being white. This could suggest to us that the people that are filming were innocent, and the blackness could be a way that shows darkness is around them and something is going to happen. we then see a quote which says 'in October 1994, three student filmmakers disappeared in the woods near burkittsville while shooting a documentary, a year later their footage was found' I think that this gives us a good understanding as to what to expect to see in the video itself, its shown as a warning to prepare us about the movie. Clips are then shown of different conversations with other people about 'the Blair witch'. It has people giving their views and opinions on the myth, some telling personal experiences with 'the Blair witch'. I think that this has been done to really emphasis how well know the Blair witch is supposed to be and how the myth affects the people in real life and what other people think of the myth. We then are introduced to the characters by asking each of them what they are expecting to see and what they are looking forward to when they go into the woods, we see that certain characters are braver than others and we start to feel as though we are there with them in the film. The scenes which had mysterious things happen, and parts which made you jump where always shown to be in the night time, making the filming turn into a black and white effect. This implies to us that something is going to happen within that scene and it prepares us for what is about to happen.
