French New Wave

I love French New Wave, and especially Jean Luc Godard, so I am particularly excited to make a French new Wave film of my own. I am not quite sure what I am going to make my film about yet, but I want to do an original film, as opposed to remaking a few minutes of a film that has already been made. I would like to have french dialogue, but I don't know if that will be possible because the actors I have in mind don't know french. I might have them say things and dub in someone else speaking french like Godard sometimes dubbed in the dialogue in his films. 

I also think that it will be hard to find interesting places to film, because all of the film makers in the 1950s had beautiful Paris streets with vintage cars, and analog technology to work with as settings when filming, but I just have suburbs and a city that doesn't have all the romantic charm of vintage Paris. I think that I might do some filming at my house, some at Waffle House, and some at the train tracks near my house. I might also do a scene in a laudromat, but I would have to go at a time when there aren't a lot of people there. 

I have two actors cast, and my idea is to have the woman shoot the man at the end but other than that don't really have any of the plot worked out. 

Avant Garde Film

I think that Avant Garde and Experimental films are anything that challenges the preconceptions people have about films and filmmaking. I think that experimental film is really important because it pushes the limits of the media and it really shows what creators can do.
It really isn't influenced by what audiences during the particular time it was made want to see because they are generally made just out of personal artistic motivation. They are things that the creator know most people aren't going to LOVE, but they make them because they love what they're doing, which really shines through.
Unlike other genres, which have cookie cutter plots to a certain extent, and you know whats going to happen simply because they're all so similar, Experimental film is all about creating something new that's never been made before to challenge the limits of the cinematic medium as an art form.
Overall, I really like Avant Garde film because it doesn't have the limits that other genres have in terms of style and what you can do, which leads to more innovative and interesting films.
