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.

Both tried to be. Office US failed and cheated. Office UK absolutely was. The difference is everything.

I think it's confusing to call The Office found footage, it's a mockumentary. Found footage implies discovery, it implies the product you're seeing is raw. The Offices - both UK and US, adherence to the form notwithstanding - are properly finished TV documentaries.
