Answer 2

This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question.

"Rip Van Winkle," which was published in 1819, is set just before and a few years after the revolutionary war of 1775–1783. The story is presented as a recovered text, meaning that someone has found this account in the papers of a fake expert historian named Diedrich Knickerbocker. This technique is still used today in many supernatural and horror stories, including modern films such as Cloverfield (2008), Paranormal Activity (2007), and The Blair Witch Project (1999).

What does the recovered text/found footage technique add to a story? Do you like this approach? why or why not?

Answer: The recovered text/found footage technique has the capacity, when used properly, of playing with the boundary between fantasy and reality, twisting it until it dissolves. The goal seems to be convincing the reader or the audience that they are in front of a true account of reality.

Explanation:

It´s my favorite subgenre in horror films and literature because it´s the only kind of content that allows me to immerse myself in a fictional world to the point that I sincerely, as well as playfully, wonder whether or not the story is real.
