Creative prototype of Blair's witch plan story

Blair Witch Project is a movie. This story is based on a true story. The specific story is as follows:

Hartz, Mike Williams and Li Ang Harder, three film majors, took their film shooting equipment and went to Parr Town to investigate the local legend about Parr Witch. They came to Montenegro to look for the Parr witch, but soon they disappeared. Five days later, people began to look for them. The U.S. government called 100 people to look for them.

At the same time, helicopters and even satellites were used, but 10 days passed and there was no result at all, so we had to give up the search. However, after 1 year, several students of Maryland State University found a package in a very secluded hut in the mountains, which contained Hartz's diary and an edited CD-ROM of the movie, recording all the terrorist incidents that happened when three people disappeared 1 year ago.

This film is based on the copied CD found in 1995. In other words, things do exist, but the producers magnified the horror for the sake of hype and polished it on the basis of records to get commercial returns.

The brief introduction of the film "Blair Witch Project" is as follows. There are many similarities between them:

Three students (Heather, Mike and Josh, whose full names are Heather Donahue, Michael Williams and joshua leonard) went to Burkittsville, Maryland (formerly Blair Town) to interview local people in order to make a documentary about Blair's witch legend project.

Two locals told them that Rustin Parr, a hermit, had kidnapped seven children from 1940 to 4 1. Parr took the children into his basement. In the basement, when a child faced a corner, he killed the children in the corner. Parr finally turned himself in to the police. Later, he lost his mind and said that a witch who was killed in the17th century lured him to kill seven children.

Film evaluation

1, "The Blair Witch Project" was shot with a novel DV recording technique at that time, which made every audience have a very real feeling and let the audience naturally bring themselves into the world of "The Blair Witch Project". Every move of the protagonists touched the hearts of the audience.

2. The first-person shooting technique of The Blair Witch Project was quite successful, which also set a precedent for later films with the same shooting technique (such as Death Video, The Last Horror Movie, Clover Files). (Time Network Review)

3. Although the story of The Blair Witch Project is lacking, its shaky picture and unique marketing method make people think it is true, thus making a staggering box office at an ultra-low cost. Since then, shocking images have become the target of many horror films. (Time Network Review)

4. The Blair Witch Project once made the audience think that it was a real documentary rather than a fictional work of art because of its novel narrative style and publicity and marketing ... The appearance of this film not only rewrote the history of American horror movies, but also created a brand-new narrative style of movies. (Netease Network Review)
