Analog / Found Footage Horror

Documentary camera. Tape damage. Dead channels. Corporate/educational uncanny.

Tenets

1. Handheld / locked security cam language
2. Timestamp / tracking UI optional (comp)
3. VHS blur, chroma bad, tracking lines
4. Mundane spaces made wrong
5. Less monster, more implication

Recipe

Target: 4:3-feeling tape footage, ~480p, wide 24 mm lens at chest height, desaturated (about 60 % saturation), heavy vignette (0.5), practical-light-only scene.
