Shaky cam bonanza: the glory of Found Footage

Many people associate found footage with cheap productions, shaky cams, night vision and panting. Others feel found footage films creep under the skin as relentless first-person narratives without music. Found Footage actually has its roots in Victorian classic horror literature: texts consisting of found diary entries, letters, manuscripts. Mary Shelley's Frankenstein is actually such a text, and Edgar Allan Poe wrote a short story called 'MS. found in a bottle' in 1833. Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897) is another example.  It's called epistolary literature. The Horror Rookie Academy had a Found Footage Friday the other day. Below you will find a wonderful list of film tips within this genre that is both loved and hated.  Enjoy!
