Call No: 408 CULAuthor: Smith, Iain Robert (ed) Source: UKPlace: United KingdomPublisher: Institute of Film & TV Studies, University of NottinghamPubDate: 2009PhysDes: 224 p. ; 30cmSeries: A Scope e-bookSubject: CRITICISM ; CULTURE AND THE CINEMA ; HISTORY AND THE CINEMA ; THEORY ; BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, THE (US, Daniel Myrick & Eduardo Sanchez, 1999) Summary: "Scope is a fully peer-reviewed online journal edited by staff and students in the Institute of Film & Television Studies at the University of Nottingham. It is published three times a year, in February, June and October. Established in 1999, the journal changed to its current format after five years of continuous publication. All issues dated between May 1999 and November 2004 are now available in our Archive. The first issue of the new series appeared in February 2005.
As our title suggests, Scope provides a forum for discussion of all aspects of film history, theory and criticism. Given contemporary film studies' varied concerns, it is our belief that we can best serve our readers interests by promoting as wide a range of approaches and critical methodologies as possible.
Scope is dedicated to publishing material of the highest scholarly interest, and to this end we have assembled a distinguished Editorial Advisory Board of academics and critics. We welcome contributions from established writers engaging with cutting-edge debates in film, media and cultural studies. However, we are also keen to act as a supportive environment within which those new to the field of film studies may publish their first work. "

Found footage horror films : Fear and the appearance of reality / Heller-Nicholas, Alexandra Jefferson, NC: McFarland & Company Inc, 2014.
Call No: 735.2 HELAuthor: Heller-Nicholas, Alexandra Place: Jefferson, NCPublisher: McFarland & Company IncPubDate: 2014PhysDes: 244 p ; 23 cmSubject: HORROR FILMS ; HEALTH AND SAFETY FILMS ; SNUFF FILMS ; REALISM IN FILMS ; BLAIR WITCH PROJECT, THE (US, Daniel Myrick & Eduardo Sanchez, 1999) ; PARANORMAL ACTIVITY (US, Oren Peli, 2007) Summary: As the horror subgenre du jour, found footage horror’s amateur filmmaking look has made it available to a range of budgets. Surviving by adapting to technological and cultural shifts and popular trends, found footage horror is a successful and surprisingly complex experiment in blurring the lines between quotidian reality and horror’s dark and tantalizing fantasies.
Found Footage Horror Films explores the subgenre’s stylistic, historical and thematic development. It examines the diverse prehistory beyond Man Bites Dog (1992) and Cannibal Holocaust (1980), paying attention to the safety films of the 1960s, the snuff-fictions of the 1970s, and to television reality horror hoaxes and mockumentaries during the 1980s and 1990s in particular. It underscores the importance of The Blair Witch Project (1999) and Paranormal Activity (2007), and considers YouTube’s popular rise in sparking the subgenre’s recent renaissance. -- publisher's blurbISBN: 9780786470778Contents: -- Preface -- Introduction -- Part 1: Expanding the Prehistory: 1938-1998 --
