The Footage Film and The Year To Come

                    The Footage Film and The Year To Come

    This is going to be a quick post. First I would like to thank everyone who have made this digital film making  site a regular part of their lives. I would like to invite you guys to add me to your google plus. At Google plus you will get updates on everything I post here, plus at my other blogs.

    The first thing that I would like to share is a film that I really like. I wish that I had an interview to go with it. This would have been part of the found footage series. It is what I like to call a Footage film. The footage is delivered by the person who shot it rather than haven been found later. the title is Out of Court.



    Next I would like to tell you about the coming year. We are going to look at some new cameras and free editing software in the months to come. I am finishing up the first page of showreels for actors and actresses, I will be posting it soon. I believe that the theme for the year 2015 will be fan films and sci-fi. If you guys have seen a really good fan film let me know and I will see if I can get an interview with the film maker.

Okay that will be it for today. I will be leaving you with a great little iphone film from India that I came across a few weeks ago and a request that you guys check out my new book that I just published. It is a collection of my three books on digital film making and screen writing.

Found Footage Summer Trailers

 
This summer looks to be the biggest yet for the found footage genre. Both the larger budget type that will make it to theaters and a few that will end up in the VOD world.

The more I learn about these movies the more hope that I have for their future. Film makers are adapting and growing the genre in interesting new ways. The formula for these types of films is being abandoned and something that has been referred to the Footage film is creeping into the genre. In a footage film, footage is recorder, but those doing the recording do not have to die in the end. They can survive, they can go one and they can even become the ones who publish the footage to the world.

 Also digital film makers are looking to devices like the iphone and the gopro to capture their footage.

 Let’s have a look at the first found footage film that I am going to be showing you. This a horror film titled As Above, So Below.


 

 The next trailer is for the horror film Afflicted.



  Now we move on to a mega summer release and since it stars children I am sure that it will not even up being a found footage film. Hollywood does not allow you to take out any little monster under the age of twelve or so, that was the reason why The Devil’s Backbone was shot in Europe. Most of you have seen the Trailer for Earth to Echo.





   The last trailer for today is a little horror movie from Europe. I hope to get an interview with the director during the next week or so. The trailer is for The Pigman Murders.


 


  

 That will be it for today. Please take a moment to stumble this site on Stumbleupon and to share it.
