French New Wave Notes

French new wave was created during the late 50's in Paris, it was one of the most important few years in film culture due to film enthusiasts discussing how to change cinema as they had little money to make their own films. There was a "lack of innovation in the industry" which caused films to feel stale, soon film makers started creating their movies in an original format that was different to others. These films purposes are to present French life during the 50's and 60's through cinema,  La nouvelle vague made cinema feel more personal as the directors would use their films to show their own life and thoughts. Their films would create a true representation of their life, each film would differentiate themselves from their older outdated counterparts. This caused an alterative way of film making to be made that had a new style of presenting the narrative. The film makers showed that things can be done differently by taking already existing methods and creating new techniques for them.
