AS1: TASK 9: NON - CONTINUITY EDITING
French New WaveNon-Continuity Editing is a style of film making that was made
popular throughout the 1950s and 1960s.Filmmakers such as Jean Luc Godard and François Truffaut pushed
the limits of editing techniques and created a new style called “French New Wave”
French New Wave films used a carefree editing style and did not conform to the traditional editing etiquette of Hollywood films.
French New Wave editing often drew attention to itself by its lack of continuity, its self-reflexive nature (reminding the audience that they were watching a film)
They often used material not often related to any narrative which kept the audience surprised and intrigued.
