Writing Plan

SUBJECT

As i reach the end of this project i ask myself whether money played a big part of why Godard went into experimental film making. I will base the essay around this subject matter but include arguments for and against. I will try and use my blog as the source and involve as much knowledge that i have encountered.

FOR

• Many films made on low budget after the war, Government holding directors back
• Camera techniques were all created with low budget in mind
• Jump cuts used to shorten long movies therefore not having enough money to re-film which breaks continuity
• 7:1 ratio of films imported, other countries like USA still making mainstream

Against

• Family would have funded him if he decided to go mainstream
• The way his life planned out he was never going to go mainstream
• Friends shared the same passion for experimental and worked together
• His passion against the government enabled him to go experimental
• What society wanted
