Chronicle was good and the way it was filmed was good.

With found footage type films, the real trick is getting the acting right. Any hint of fakery or Hollywood nonsense throws the entire thing down the drain. You can ride the gap with comedy, but thats about it. District 9 did a great job with that during the interviews, raids, and other segments mixed with traditional editing & cameras. They made it funny.

With found footage, youre either going pure guerrilla film-crew.... or you gotta be funny. Mockumentaries perfected both styles long ago. Get some nobodies, suffocate them with Hollywood character-acting head-games, film the result. Better yet, grab some people who really believe in the kind of crap youre filming. Its very interesting to watch.
