{"product_id":"the-definitive-history-of-found-lucas-reagan-9798197352736","title":"The Definitive History of Found Footage in Cinema","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhy does an out-of-focus camera falling to the ground produce visceral terror in the twenty-first century?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this work, Lucas Reagan documents the fascinating history of how cinema has perfected the art of lying to our faces with our own consent. Through an exhaustive analysis, the book proves that found footage is far from being a cheap resource or a simple carnival trick. It is, in reality, the most accurate barometer of our technological and social fears.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe journey begins by exploring the ancestors of the format, from the epistolary novel like \u003ci\u003eDracula\u003c\/i\u003e to the hijacking of reality on the radio with Orson Welles. From there, the author unravels the evolution of the subgenre: the bloody and legal controversy of \u003ci\u003eCannibal Holocaust\u003c\/i\u003e, the viral marketing revolution of \u003ci\u003eThe Blair Witch Project\u003c\/i\u003e, the suffocating choreography of \u003ci\u003e[-REC]\u003c\/i\u003e, and the triumph of domestic terror in \u003ci\u003eParanormal Activity\u003c\/i\u003e. Finally, the work delves into modern digital paranoia, exploring the two-dimensionality of the \u003ci\u003eScreenlife\u003c\/i\u003e format on our computer screens and the threat of Artificial Intelligence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the anatomy of how technical imperfection became an undeniable stamp of authenticity. Get ready to rewind the tape. What you are about to read is the history of the images that, supposedly, we were never meant to see.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lucas Reagan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798197352736\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/17\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.28d","brand":"Lucas Reagan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48874677698815,"sku":"9798197352736","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-definitive-history-of-found-lucas-reagan-9798197352736","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
