After analysing french new wave films such as the 400 blows and breathless. Both films have a central theme of crime, however the narratives were unusual and didn't make much sense. With this in mind, I'm going to take advantage of the trip to coventry and make my new wave film about movement, however there will be no clear narrative, only shots that convey the central theme. I'll use a soundtrack that is fast paced and continuous so that I can easily edit the shots to constantly change and jump cut. I'd like to use overlays for some parts of the film, such as multiple shots of clouds over each other to suggest multiple locations visited in a short amount of time.
A huge theme from the new wave which i'd like to incorporate is very short duration shots that cut irregularly, I think that by arranging to music this will be much easier to do, as the strange editing will be compensated by the fact it's edited to music. Shots i'd like to get in Coventry include; geometric angles, simplistic/minimalistic shots of buildings, different colours, creative camera movements for overlay use and as many shots of the train journey as possible.
Natural lighting will be easy to accomplish, I'm using this because new wave films from dogme95 consider natural lighting to be a rule in order to achieve the best form of filmmaking. I'm also going to take multiple shots of the same place with two separate lenses. The wide angle lens, with the right settings, creates a very vibrant and colourful image compared to the default lens that comes with the camera. Creating this comparison will be an interesting experimental style to incorporate into my new wave film.
