French New Wave

The French New Wave exploration of storying telling through different techniques of editing and shooting was originally discovered in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Famous film makers such as Jean-Luc Godard and Francois Truffaut took their films and subtracted certain frames to create effect an called a jump cut, and shot extra long takes to impact viewers with the reality of the scene instead of an implication of it. For my French New Wave project I will be creating an original film that highlights the feeling of walking alone somewhere you don't know when its late. I want to use handheld techniques and long takes of someone walking to emphasize the feelings of being alone. It will be set in the New Wave time period with a voice over to emphasize a feeling, but it will be mostly silent except for music.
