Chronicle (2012)

Found footage is a genre of filmmaking, especially horror, in which all or a substantial part of a film is presented as an edit of recovered footage, often left behind by missing or dead protagonists. The events onscreen are seen through the camera of one or more of the characters involved, who often speaks offscreen. Filming is often done by the actors themselves as they recite their lines, and shaky camerawork is also often used to maintain realism. While it dates back at least as far as 1980's Cannibal Holocaust, the genre was firmly established after the release of such films as The Blair Witch Project (1999), Cloverfield (2008) and Paranormal Activity (2009). The technique has also been used in science fiction, such as 1997's The McPherson Tape and Alien Abduction: Incident in Lake County.
