The French New Wave Design Brief

After thorough research, I have decided which of the New Wave movements I would like to study: La Nouvelle Vague (The French New Wave). I have chosen this because personally, I believe the French New Wave to have had the biggest impact in cinema; an example of this, my favourite director being Wes Anderson, who was massively influenced by the french, as displayed in all of his films. I am researching and analysing 3 French New Wave texts, I shall decide which ones in a later post. During my studies in this revolution of cinema, I shall apply the French conventions to my own New Wave short film. Some of the techniques I will be using are: Lack of narrative, jump cuts, colour overlays, hand held camera, sunlight glare, playing with sound. All of these techniques were used to break the rules of film, for a cheaper and easier resort (jump cuts were used to make the film shorter, not for any deeper meaning). This created a more relatable type of cinema.
