Task Nine Non Continuity

Task Nine – Non - Continuity

Non continuity editing is a style of film making that came about and was popular in the 1950s and 1960s. The two most important filmmakers who pushed the limits of editing techniques and also created a new trend "French New wave" were Jean Luc Godard and Francois Truffant.

The filmmakers of the French New Wave are irreplaceable and typical enough to stand out on their own but they collectively contained one of the most influential movements in cinema history. French New Wave films used a carefree editing technique and did not match the traditional editing etiquette of Hollywood films.

In this clip the gap in action when seberg picked the mirror it shows the use of a jump cut becasue he is looking at the mirror. This was done purposely by the editors because it startled the viewers and to draw the attention of something and to get the audience to talk about maybe there was something behind him.


A film that broke the 180 degree rule was The Shining it was created Stanley Kubrick. The camera changed positions as it caused the character to be on the other side. Another film that broke the 180 degree rule was the hunger games because katniss went in the room and at one point she was on the left then camera changed postions and she was on the right.
