Seeing as my film is going to be clips of me, camera handheld pointed at my face, I have decided to look more closely at The Blair Witch project. There are quite a few scenes in the movie, particularly towards the end that have the camera being held by the person filming themselves. The shots range from close up to extreme close up. I will look at other works by directors Daniel Myrick (Believers 2007 - remake of John Schlesinger's film The Believers 1987) and Eduardo Sanchez (Altered, 2006).

Believers (Daniel Myrick)
I have also looked at videos on Youtube where people have taken 1 photo a day for a period of time. This one in particular fits in with my theme as it begins with the woman appearing to be happy and eventually her expressions change as bruises appear on her face and by the end she appears very sad and her face is covered in wounds.
This one is 1 second a day so more like my idea, a few second long clips as opposed to still images. Again it goes from seemingly good to something bad.
