The Blair Witch Project (1999)

The footage may not be real, but it's truly terrifying.

Today the assignment on Digital Photography School was to do a "dutch angle shot". These are shots taken at an angle to give a somewhat mysterious (film noir-ish) look. Think Hitchcock... Here is my first attempt at doing this. I'd like to play around with this some more to figure out the best angle. I also think shooting it from a lower perspective would increase the effect. This was shot at 10mm (cropped body) f3.5 1/25 sec.

THE SHINING was released #onthisday in 1980! 🪓

In Deliverance, a scene depicts Billy Redden playing it opposite Ronny Cox, who joins him on guitar. Redden plays "Lonnie," a mentally challenged and inbred but extremely gifted banjo player. Redden could not actually play the banjo and the director thought his hand movements looked unconvincing. A local musician, Mike Addis, was brought in to depict the movement of the boy's left hand. Careful camera angles kept Addis out of frame and completed the illusion.
