Answers:
The Blair witch concept was developed in 1993 by the filmmakers, who desired to create a movie where the characters are lost in the woods!. The script began with a 35 page outline, with the dialogue to be improvised!. Accordingly, the directors advertised in Back Stage Magazine for actors with strong improvisational abilities!. There was a very informal improvisational audition process to narrow the pool of 2,000 actors!. The working title for the film was "The Black Hills Project"!. In developing the mythology behind the movie, the filmmakers used many inspirations!. Several character names are anagrams; Elly Kedward (The Blair Witch) is Edward Kelly, a medieval mystic!. Rustin Parr, the fictional 1940's child-murderer began as an anagram for Rasputin!. In talks with investors, they presented an 8 minute documentary presenting the Blair Witch legend as though it was real, along with newspapers and news footage!.
Filming began in October 1997 and went for 8 days!. Most of the movie was filmed in Seneca Creek State Park in Montgomery County, Maryland, although a few scenes were filmed in the real town of Burkittsville!. Many of the townspeople interviewed in the film were not actors, and some claimed to have heard about the Blair Witch, though the story is fictitious!. Donahue had never operated a camera before, and spent two days in a "crash course", but her newness with camera control may have influenced the film's shakiness!. Donahue said she modeled her character after a director she once worked with, citing the character's self assuredness but then confusion during crisis!.
During filming, the actors were given clues as to their next location through messages given in milk crates found with Global Positioning Satellite systems!. They were given individual instructions that they would use to help improvise the action of the day!. The directors rationed the food of the cast, causing Donahue to suffer eczema outbreaks as filming progressed!. Teeth were obtained from a Maryland dentist for use as human remains in the film, !. Influenced by producer Greg Hale's memories of his military training, in which "enemy soldiers" would hunt a trainee through wild terrain for three days, the directors moved the characters far during the day, harassing them by night and depriving them of food!.
Almost 19 hours of useable footage was recorded which had to be edited down to 90 minutes!. The process of editing in post production took more than eight months!. Originally it was hoped that the movie would make it on to cable television, and the filmmakers did not anticipate wide release!. The initial investment by the three Central Florida filmmakers was about US$35,000!. Artisan acquired the film for US$1!.1 million and spent only US$25 million to market it!. The actors signed a "small" agreement to receive some of the profits from the film's release!.
The Massacre of the Burkitsville Seven was a second mockumentary produced for Showtime that aired in 2000!. The story takes place after The Blair Witch Project and centers around the serial killer Rustin Parr mentioned in the filmWww@Enter-QA@Com

I watched that movie long ago, so I don't remember much!. It's a pseudo-documentary, where 3 students go to the woods (near Maryland) to investigate the existence of the "Blair Witch", a local urban myth!.
While they are there, strange things start to happen, and their panic starts to grow!. And all this is caught on camera by the "documentary director", who just can't stop taping everything!.
The movie scared the heck out of me to!. When I watched it the movie itself was an urban myth!. Everybody was saying that it wasn't a movie, it was real!. That someone found the tape after the kids went missing, and the movie director was simply showing its content!. This happened because the movie was made to make you believe it is real!. For example, the actors and the characters names are the same!. But fortunately it's just a movie :D
I heard somewhere that this particular movie was so popular due to a simple formula: "What you can imagine scares you more than what you can see"!. I agree!Www@Enter-QA@Com
