Bonjour!



The French New Wave was a movement that influenced filmmaking process. It started after World War II in France the classic filmmakers and the younger generation were not seeing eye to eye on the filmmaking process. Most of the French New Wave films used the same group of conventions: 
  1. Jump cuts 
  2. Shooting on location
  3. Natural lighting 
  4. Improvised dialogue and plotting
  5. Direct sound recording 
  6. Long takes. 

In this day and time these were new to the filmmaking industry. Jump cuts are remembered most when looking back on the French New Wave. They did the jump cuts to cover up any mistakes.
