FRENCH NEW WAVE! Being one of the most, if not, the most influential film movements in history, French New Wave completely shaped everything in the film industry. Through the introduction of things like jump cuts and free style edits, the first films made during the movement absolutely thrived. As human beings, we constantly desire things we've never before experienced. With this, the first films attracted everyone. Because of this, filmmakers began experimenting with their films, leading to things to vlog-style filming and new transitions. This movement is one of the major reasons why today's film industry is so diverse.

Neorealism-  Italian and World Cinema! Neorealism is an Italian style of film that originated in the 1940s. During this time, film was still being perfected(it always is; however, it was to a greater extent back then), so new ideas and styles were developing left and right. Before this movement, also known as the Golden Age of film, films mainly consisted of idealistic lifestyles. For instance, they conveyed wealth and prosperity. When Neorealism came about, films began portraying what life was like in lower classes. They would show the hardships in which lower class citizens had to face to get simple things like a loaf of bread for their family. This movement was a major turning point in filmmaking, and it still appears in almost every film made today.
