I usually stay away from 'found footage' style films as I like to see nice cinamatography and good use of equipment, but I enjoyed Archies Final Project as I related alot to Archie and Sierra as charcters. I really enjoyed the use of editing done by the character during conversations especially the movie refrences. Archies Final Project is a teen comedy/drama that touches on very serious subjects, Archie is a typical lonely teen, he's not in with the popular kids so instead he spends his time playing with cameras and editing videos.
The cmaera work in this film is almost 100% found footage and the screen ration changes alot which sometimes pulled me out of the film, the film is very funny, mainly due to Archies imagination during serious conversations.
Archie goes from beinjg a no-one to being the most talked about kid in school when he announces that in his next film project he is going to kill himself, this turns his world upside down and suddenly everone wants to know him even the most beautiful girl in school, who also turns out to be the most twisted.
This film takes some extremely dark turns, combined with consistant humour makes for a very enjoyable watch even for those affected by the issues raised in this film.
