Hello and welcome back, folks. This week on the podcast, I welcome Dan Ferraro as we discuss found footage and its roots, how it’s evolved over the years, where we think it’s going, and what OG franchises could be done in a found footage film style.

Found footage in horror involves presenting the narrative through footage discovered after an event has occurred, often depicted as recordings from camcorders, surveillance cameras, or handheld devices. This technique aims to create a sense of realism and immersion by portraying events as if the characters captured them.

Typically, found footage films utilize shaky camera work, naturalistic acting, and minimal editing to enhance the illusion of authenticity. The storyline often revolves around characters documenting paranormal phenomena, exploring haunted locations, or encountering supernatural entities.
