    cinematography lens to use for "FOUND FOOTAGE"

    ok so i have a canon rebel t2i, with magic lantern installed. Question is, if i were to shoot a found footage style film, where one of the main characters is filming the events, what would be the best lens to use? Considering all i have is the 18-55mm and 55-270mm telephoto lens. I feel like...

    found footage horror/slasher

    well no, i plan on shooting it with a canon t2i, which is what i have. I have a good audio recorder, a couple lenses the 50mm f1.8, 18-55mm, and 55-270mm if you can recommend any other cheap but cinematic lenses. But no i was thinking maybe they happen to come across a couple being murdered and...

    found footage horror/slasher

    yeahh i know that stuff, but i want it to be more of not found footage as in movie revolves around the found footage, but more of 2 teens struggle in a situation that may cost them their lives, and they need the footage for some reason or another looking for a good reason for them to record it...

    found footage horror/slasher

    Well...the babysitter idea was dumb but age of 17, 18. And possibly not a babysitter b ut a older family member? And reason for recording at first they think people are jus joking and its funny. But soon becomes serious, and they figure video can be proof for police, or if the dont make it out...

    found footage horror/slasher

    hahah, yeah i use final draft 8. I love the program, and i don't know how well this would work, but how could i incorporate custom music and what not into a found footage type film, but still give it that found footage type feel? question sounds stupid i know, but music creates a lot of atmosphere.

    found footage horror/slasher

    found footage horror/slasher

    well, i want it to have a more genuine feel to it and not super low budget looking, more of a cinematic feel to it. but the strangers has really nothing to do with it. Just the fact that its some what of a home invasion, but there will be a story behind it, not just random events and people...

    found footage horror/slasher

    yeah, i love the strangers and a little inspiration came from that, mostly the whole mysterious reason why whoever is doing this is doing what there doing, but i planned to put a reason for whats going on so it turns out not so random. but any more help would be greatly appreciated, i know a lot...

    found footage horror/slasher

    im not to good with drama, and horror is what i love no matter how cliche a lot if it might be, either horror or action/sci-fi, but action films can also be super repetitive. and 15-20 minutes. and found footage, i just think for this project would be a little interesting, some cool stuff could...

    found footage horror/slasher

    yeah i know its been done a lot, i just haven't really seen once don't based on a home invasion type scenario yet. I mean i have other ideas but horror is one of those things where its hard to be original with it. ya know? and only about a 15-20min short
