New Wave Film Evaluation: Health and Safety

My New Wave film consists of a variety of shots which emulate certain new wave films. This was intentional as it demonstrated the research I conducted in order to further my understanding of New Wave Cinema. I composed these shots in a cohesive narrative structure, however the narrative itself is sparse. In my initial idea for my new wave film I was hoping to explore a much more looser narrative structure, however due to time restraints and lack of usable footage I was forced to abide to the traditional narrative structure. I was initially hoping to take a lot of inspiration from the film 1966 New Wave film Daisies with the aforementioned editing techniques. However I later decided upon drawing primary inspiration for the 1972 film Morgiana in which there is a traditional cohesive narrative structure.




What stood out for me in Morgiana was the point of view shot of the cat whom roams the castle. I therefore applied this shot to the point of view of the dog whom wakes up the primary character of my New Wave film. As this technique was present in a New Wave film that I studied I decided to emulate this to further the validate my film under the category of New Wave.
