Low Budget Films- The Blair Witch Project

The Blair Witch Project overall was a good film as it had a good story line and interesting characters. but in many aspects it is a low budget film, one reason this is, is because the camera quality isn't amazing at all  and they are all low quality cameras, also the locations they filmed were often used more than once, a prime example of this is the little river or stream they used twice in the film for two different things as it is cheaper than paying for a place to rent out. Also the Props they use are either handmade such as the things hanging from the trees or low budget such as the car they were driving or things they already owned like the Burgans and camping equipment. Also the actors are almost very unknown and most likely just friends of the producers or even the producers and directors themselves. A major giveaway it is a low budget is the fact you don't see the witch its self as that would have been to expensive to animate it or find costumes and props for it.

Another thing that tells you it is low budget is that the special effects was only fake blood and that was it really, and because they only had low budget cameras and not many of them they filmed it in first person and they may not have tripods as they can be expensive.

Induction Task, Change of hands

This is our video induction task, overall it went very well as we got a story across and there is a finished result, but there are some amendments that we could have made. Firstly we spelled Clarence differently in the credits to the actual film. Another thing we could have changed is that the aperture needed to be changed as it was a very grainy looking video. There was also a continuity error as in the first half of the shots Joe doesn't have a plastered eye but in the second half he has a bandage on as he injured himself. Finally in the hallway shots there is the sound of people talking that shouldn't be there.
