French New Wave

I was inspired by the final scene of The 400 Blows where Antoine is running down the beach, it's a very simple scene yet there is a lot of imagery. It's very interesting how sometimes you need to have a very long shot in order to capture a scene in real time. I would definitely want to recreate this scene in a more modern and worse way. I would either make it comical or somewhat impactful. I don't really know I haven't really thought about it a lot. It should come out nice, especially if I start working on it now. French New Wave is super cool and I wish I got to learn more about it, maybe I'll explore more about this genre in college. -Brett

One film that had a profound impact on me was Whiplash directed by Damien Chazelle. I know many people like to critique the movie's inaccuracy when it comes to music and other semantics: however, the cinematography was beautiful and there was a wonderful progression with each character. The cinematography was well composed and all shots were evenly balanced. Compositionally, the movie always followed the golden rule and I could appreciate every single scene. I'm fairly new to the world of film and editing, but I will always draw inspiration from this film no matter how advanced I become in the cinematic world.
