The two films we looked at were 'The Blair Witch Project' and 'REC' or its American exact replica
'Quarantine'.
Quarantine starts with a simple motif of the production company 'Screen Gems' and with a voice over of the two characters talking about using the camera. The next few shots are of a news reporter and her camera man filming a show for the news called 'The Night Shift'. The footage is shown to be unedited, as it shows the 'bloopers' and mistakes made by the film crew and presenter. It also jumps from one location to another, with no obvious transition from each shot. This adds to the effect of the film being 'found footage', as nothing has been changed to the original footage.
