What do you think about first person perspective in films?
So recently I have watched "Creep", "Area 51", and "The Blair Witch Project". And right now im pretty into those kinda stuff, movies filmed in first person perspective. (I need more horror movies in first person perspective, give recommendations).
So, for context, im staring a film high school this September, and im thinking how it would be to make an low-budget horror movie. I have some ideas for 1-2 films, but there's one thing that I think about a lot. Would it be better if its first person perspective? So I wanted to ask what people think about it.
I know that "Creep" was like filmed as low-budget, first person perspective, movie that became a big hit. And "the Blair Witch Project" was creepy as f for people at the time, as some even left the theaters and threw up during the movie.
I feel like first person perspective is giving that scary vibe, like were the real person in that story, in that world. It feels more like a story were meant to see rather than just a movie. But im not sure if people feel the same or just feel like its a YouTube video that doesn't deserve to be called a movie.
So the question is, do you like first person perspective? To you, is it good for a started young director (filmmaker)?
