Grave Encounters is a 2011 found footage film with a budget of $120,000. This was a good film for us to watch and analyze as it is very similar to what my teammates and I would like to do, specifically based off of the aspect of found footage. This film follows the cast of a ghost hunting show through an abandoned asylum in search of paranormal activity, throughout their time there they disappear one by one before the main character, Lance, is deemed sane and free to go home. While this film was good in aspects of mise-en-scene, the plot was very crowded as if the filmmakers couldn’t decide how they wanted to end the film, therefore the final minutes had many different things going on that could be considered confusing to the viewer. Though Grave Encounters was successful in its intent to be a horror film, the use of sounds and cinematography gave eerie tones throughout the film without giving away the potential conclusions.
