video/essay notes - French New wave

stamp letters- NOUVELLE VAGUE

professing the life experiences and philosophies of the director 

'Photography is truth, and cinema is truth 24 times a second' -the small solder Goddard

capture French life during the 50s and 60s through cinema 
'I liked cinema as it was, but felt it lacked sincerity. I just wanted to improve it'

they 'added' to the rules of cinema /breaking uo with the past

jump cut is both spacial and temporal- shows the difference in both space and time between two shots  (match two shots/ mismatch two shots)

mismaching two shots were avoided prior to the new wave, editing purpose was to maintain continuity and keep things flowing -the editing shouldn't be noticed 

inspiring the new wave of the 60s and 70s
