Assess students' ability to analyze how cinematography and editing in French New Wave films communicate themes of youth alienation. Expect identification and interpretation of formal techniques (camera movement, framing, jump cuts, montage, long takes, handheld, on-location shooting, mise-en-scène, sound), application to primary texts (e.g., Breathless, The 400 Blows, Jules et Jim), and comparative explanation of how these choices produce narrative and emotional effects.
