I just watched Cloverfield.

The Blair Witch Project didn't originate the deliberate handheld docu-style of film, but put it on the map.

1998's Godzilla was attrocious, but so is Roland Emmerich's directing.

[Plux]

haha, i thought it was a good guess. godzilla is a japanese movie and incorporates a monster.

if you're talking about the host: that was actually a korean movie, and had very original aspects of it, such as the use of humor, romance and irony

I mean, with the camera. It originated in Japan. As far as I know.

& I know The Host is Korean.
I do own it.

[John!]

My friend said it was crap, so I didn't consider watching it. I might now.

naw, i don't think it originated anywhere specifically, really. the blair witch project is probably the most well known use of it though.

[GhostFace-]

i liked it, but the begging and end were bad.

[Nereo]

I havnt seen this yet but apparently its good so I might

Many, people in Japan would disagree.
Everything originates from somewhere.

Handheld filming came into existence with the creation of handheld cameras. Tens of thousands of films are and were shot handheld. The "style" in Hollywood and beyond did not originate anywhere specifically. People need to see the bigger picture because mainstream motion pictures are the VAST minority of films being produced, look at independent film-makers, myself even; no budget productions - they use handheld camera for principal photography. There is no bulletpoint origin.The Blair Witch Project illustrates a faux independent documentary - the key word being independent - it is just a way of presenting a back-to-basics view.

Yeah i thought this film was quality really different in the way its filmed.

[Virgin Mary]

I think the Blair Witch Project made far better use of it.
