The correct answer is 'The Blair Witch Project'
Filmed in eight days, the three actors (portraying three students), armed only with an outline of the plot idea, set about filming a mock documentary as a project for school. They slept in the woods in a tent, and were wakened in the night by strange sounds and lights, and their reactions to these events, filmed by the students themselves, became the movie. For reasons beyond my understanding, it was a huge hit.
