What is the best way to screenwrite a found footage film?

Totally agree with you, man.

My movie is actually a parody of PA, but it's not going to be found footage, except for a few scenes/shots.... that's how bad I think it is, I want to parody it without even doing it the exact same way

Im only doing this once. Its the only one of my films that I get to actually film due to the lack of budget and income I get. This film requires little to no VfX and money for props, wardrobe. Only my $150 camcorder I have.

well thank you guys for the advise. I recently hired someone, well not really hired, a friend just decided to join me in my filmmaking career and we are now writing a background story for this found footage film which will be out to the world in about a year or so. Probably less. Thank you.
