/ffg/ - Found Footage General

Featured film: The Wicksboro Incident

Previously: What is found footage? Found footage consists of feature length movies, shorts, or webseries designed to have the look and feel of actual (non-fictional) filmed events that were lost and subsequently discovered and made available to the viewer. That is why it is the most creative subgenre ever to exist, with over 700 movies and counting!

HOW TO FIND FOUND FOOTAGE FILMS ONLINE: AN /FFG/ GUIDE

a) Download Sources from best (1) to worst (5)

1) Private Torrents (PTP, CG, and THC are the best for FF and THC is easy to join)
2) Private Usenet accounts (Get these from private torrents and private piracy forums)
3) Public Usenet (use Binsearch, get a free usenet account, slow but it works)
4) Public Torrents (use BTDB, torrentz2, zooqle, rarbg)
5) Public and private DDL (warez-bb, filehosts)

b) Streaming sites have quite a few. Type in google "[name of movie] 123movies"

c) Amazon Prime has a lot of them if you already have an account.

d) Ask /ffg/ for the ones you can't find using above methods. Remember to archive the rare ones for your fellow FF fans!

e) Here's a still-evolving pastebin of FF movies you can watch on Youtube. These are NOT recommendations!

you should watch it

Don't know if it's already known here but Fear Footage finally has a release date, it's on April 19 for Amazon Video and Bluray.

it is known

the weather is getting warmer and warmer...

It was fucking 17 degrees Celsius yesterday. In early Spring! I can't stand the heat, fucking perma winter when? It has the best holidays, too. Samhain signals the beginning of winter, Yuletide is max comfy, Summer is bright and warm, Autumn is sticky and humid, Spring is literally who, Winter is god tier.

I agree, I hate this and I don't have ac at the moment

spring and autumn don't exist anymore.
it's either summer or winter.

kek i like this little dude

I was trying to understand why I don't like found footage movies and I think now I got a sort of an explanation.
Films are always made with actors, of course. I can imagine horror films as remotely based on a true story, then filmed; but found footage are something that is supposed to be true (the footage) featuring actors in it.
Basically, the format shortcircuits my suspension of disbelief.

for me it's the opposite

before i head out, name this album.
preferably something FF-adjacent.

One of the selling points of FF is immersion and immediacy, instead of viewing through a divorced perspective, a third party, FF puts you in the hands of one of the characters, the veil between you and the character is thinned. What you see, they see, there's no cameraman between you and the character, the character IS the cameraman.

I should add that I strongly believe I'm unironically autist. I have a hard time reading emotions on other people.

its from occult tho...
this one needs a title too. im thinking something like "harajuku anal devastation parade"
kind of a ripoff of Tokyo Anal Dynamite but no one knows about noise anyway.

shut up fag lmao.

okay now i do have to actually go out, as much as i dont want to.

lol

Attached: japanese noise album cover_02.jpg (384x384, 34K)

It has nothing to do with emotion, it's about immersion.

It's an after the fact explanation; the format just doesn't work for me.
That said, I liked the original REC and Chernobyl Diaries. Blair Witch Project 2 was better than the first one, IMO. I guess it's my problem with perceiving emotions again.

Attached: fahka you.jpg (720x720, 84K)

If your autism stops you enjoying FF, that's not really the fault of the format. Immersion is about experience.

Take a scene from a hypothetical movie: a monster is chasing a character down a hallway.
In a traditional film, the character is shown running, screaming, scared, the monster in the background, maybe a little out of focus. But everything is more or less in clear view.
In a found footage film, we now experience the character's POV with no safe veil between us and the horror. We experience every stumble, every horrible sound behind our POV, every glance thrown over the shoulder to see something awful barrelling down upon us.

don't even bother. its the same person it always is, they just change it up slightly every thread.

Some of my favorites are: grave encounters, paranormal activity, abduction, parts of both v/h/s movies (none of viral), quarantine (haven't seen rec yet) and watching as above so below right now. What others should I not miss?

Didn't like Wicksboro

Started out interesting, but it devolved into the same tired "idiots shouting at each other and doing stupid shit for the second half of the movie."

It could have been a lot more interesting with the device that detects aleums or whatever.

Just watched Catskill Park and was pleasantly surprised. The first half/third was kinda weak but I thought the second half was great and the idea behind the film was pretty interesting. Guess I've just watched too many ghost/supernatural type FF movies and so a more tangible threat made it seem a bit more tense throughout.

On a side note, I joined The Horror Channel probably a year ago and I just got blocked from downloading torrents because apparently I wasn't seeding enough. I've only downloaded 4 movies total, one of which was free and the other ones used a free leech slot. I have the files still but I don't have the torrent files. Since I don't have the torrent files and can't download anything there's no way for me to seed the stuff I do have. Anyone have this happen before? I did seed all the things I downloaded for a couple hours ish, but I never got any seeders so I deleted them. Even now if I check the ones I downloaded there's no one leeching. Should I contact a mod on the site or is this ban temporary? I assumed the free leech slots were an exemption to the seeding rule, plus since they aren't high in demand and no one leeched from me I figured it wouldn't matter.

kek

i wish i could help but i dont have it or know much about it

lol

I did this when I started out, I made a plea in the shout box that I was a complete newfag, wanted to fix my fuck ups and they obliged.

On THC, whatever you download, freeleech or not, must be seeded for a certain amount of time, you can check this at the bottom of your profile. What you did is known as a Hit and Run, downloaded the movies and deleted the torrent files so no one can get them from you. Popularity of the movie doesn't matter, what you get must be seeded. After the obligatory time for seeding is over you can stop seeding. But seeding also gives you karma to spend on goodies on the site like upload credit and stuff, it's worth it to seed. It takes nothing to seed your torrents in the background, I have a toaster of a machine and temperamental internet and just leave my client on in the background seeding, no biggie.

Just go and explain you fucked up, someone explained what you did wrong and you know how to fix the issue but need help from the site because you're unable to re-download the torrent files. They're a reasonable lot over there, just don't be rude about it. When they let you re-download, before you download again, delete your old versions of the movies so you don't have duplicates and don't one day accidentally delete the wrong version.
