      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?

      Okay the amount of people who think this means "something handheld" is staggering. Found Footage implies "a real document" - IE there was a person filming these events and the characters on screen knew it.

      Meanwhile there's incredible "docu-style" stuff like the work of Iannucci (where there is no live cameraman). What I'm essentially getting at is my deep, inexorable problem with amount of bad found footage that cheats and tries to have it both ways.

      I may seem innocent, but it's really kind of horrendous. You're shrugging off the basic reality of your entire project for short-term cheap moment. And I'm glad it's no longer en vogue.

      Wait how is Chronicle ok the climax is literally edited together from multiple angles of them flying around in the air

      Eh it was still very much abandoning the idea. They threw that in to justify it, but there were far more "cameras" than they conceivably had up there.

      Hmm, I see that, but personally I disagree. I mean, everyone has a camera in their pocket, and I think it's conceivable that people would record that event. Plus some of them were security and news cameras.

      And even then, when they're reaching to justify their gimmick ("Oh, he used his powers to make a bunch of cameras follow him up and get closeups to cut to, just because") the idea of reality is lost.

      The edit is never a problem to me because that's the crux. For me it stretches certain real life logic, not a within-the-cinematic-reality logic. Which is where many of those other ones cheat.

          Definitely agree with that. Besides, (again I know it was never made and never will be) but I actually liked that inclusion at the end because it gets turned into a plot point in the sequel. Someone took all the footage and edited together a movie of it, i.e., Chronicle.
