The article also talks about the French New Wave and compares and contrasts Truffaut to another director, Jean-Luc Godard. The article is talks about the directing style of Truffaut and about the different shots such as panning in the film that he uses. The first article I chose is entitled “The Aesthetics of Absorption: Truffaut’s ‘The 400 Blows’. Truffaut instead focused on long tracking shots such as Antoine running at the end of the film. The visual style was also different as Truffaut used different and odd angles for shot instead of the typical long, medium, and close, shot. Like with Eisenstein’s films such as The Battleship Potemkin, it went against the typical hollywood style. It rejected the traditional cinematic structure. Truffaut’s The 400 Blows was very influential for the French New Wave movement. Awards: Winner of Best Director, OCIC Award at Cannes Film Festival
