My Chosen Films to research

Jean Luc Godard - "Contempt" (1963)

Paul Javal is a writer who is hired to make a script for a new movie about Ulysses more commercial, which is to be directed by Fritz Lang and produced by Jeremy Prokosch. But because he let his wife Camille drive with Prokosch and he is late, she believes, he uses her as a sort of present for Prokosch to get get a better payment. So the relationship ends.

Jean Luc Godard - "Breathless" (1960)

A small-time thief steals a car and impulsively murders a motorcycle policeman. Wanted by the authorities, he reunites with a hip American journalism student and attempts to persuade her to run away with him to Italy.

Francois Truffaut- "The 400 Blows" (1959)

Moving story of a young boy who, left without attention, delves into a life of petty crime.

I will use certain clips from these films to support my statement that beaking the fourth wall is a convention af the new wave, alike jump cuts, long/lingering shots and no use of extras.
