In that entire sweeping era of 2000's found footage, I think there are two projects that actually nailed the cinematic language by actually treating it as the reality of "people being filmed." The Office UK. And Chronicle. Maybe another?

I guess I see it both ways. Sometimes to create a moment you want, you have to break the rules you've established. But it's definitely a risk taken that you may lose a few audience members. But it's also a commendable feat to follow the rules of the narrative device to a T.

My whole problem is that found footage is the only thing those kinds of rules actually apply too. Usually, the great thing about cinematic language is it's malleable and you use it to whatever tonal purpose you need. With found footage - YOU MAKE A CHOICE TO TAKE THAT AWAY.
