Task 6 - Non Continuity

Task 6 Non Continuity:

Jump Cut -

French new wave filmmakers such as Jean luc Godard and Francois Truffaut pushed the limits of editing techniques during the late 1950's and throughout the 1960's.
French new wave films and the non-narrative films of the 1960's used carefree editing style and did not conform to the traditional editing etiquette of hollywood films.

French new wave editing often are attention to its self by lack of continuity, its self reflexive nature (reminding the audience that they are watching a film) and by the over use of jump cuts or the insertion of material not often related to any narrative. An example of a non-narrative film is "A bout de Souffle"





During the scenes in the film A bout de soufflé there are many mistakes when they are in the dear, the first mistake is where they transport from one place in the city to another, i can see this because the change in surrounding objects. The second big mistake is where the women randomly appears with a mirror which she didn't have before.





During the film The shining, many mistakes are made, mainly the rule  weak of the 180 degree rule. This may be done to try and show the audience that the main character is confused or it may just be a mistake.


During the trailer of The Hunger Games one main mistake is used which also breaks the 180 degree rule, this is made in the bedroom scene where she is exploring her new surroundings. 
This is done to make it look like the character is confused of her surroundings. SO this rule break could have been put into the film purposely to create a sense of confusion by the character.
