From my studies of new wave cinema of different forms of new wave movies I've noticed that the common trend is to break away from comment tropes of cinema, and by that I mean break the rules that have been common in cinema for years. For example filming very long takes that continue even when the main focus has gone off the scene or their is no interesting action. Another example of new wave techniques are the complete opposite of long takes and that is the use of jump cuts switching between the focus very quickly. One technique that was quite noticeable for the Italian neo realism I am studying is that the films were filmed without the use of a sound stage and so voice was recording after filming and added over the top.
For my own new wave style film I intend to employ a combination of these techniques and some more. The overall idea I had planned for this new wave was to to do a point of view video with no real planning for any focus, and the real point of the film was just to show an average day from a young adult from the beginning of the day to the end of their day. The plan is to take a camera and have it fixed to the character to give a point of view camera. In the beginning I plan on using the technique of jump cuts and quick edits to show the simplicity and repetitive style of a morning routine, and then start using the long takes to show how mundane some of the average day can be. And for the audio I plan on doing a voice over post edit in the style of Neo-Realism by just recording my voice and talking and responding to incidences in the footage as the young adult would. And as well as this I will leave out the diegetic sound and background audio leaving just the voice of the person we are looking through the eyes of as if we are able to hear his exact thoughts.
