An avant-garde film is:

French new wave is:
- is a term used by critics for a group of filmmakers of the late 1950's and 1960's
its usually experimental and doesn't suspend your disbelief. Because of its tight budget there are many things they have to cope with such as: shopping trolleys for tracking shots and they have to use friends as their actors. They usually consist of long takes and many jump cuts to shorten scenes they also break the 80 degree rule. French new wave film narratives usually contain a boy and a girl, cigarettes and improvisations of dialogue.


The rules of Dogme:
1. Filming must be done on location. Props and sets must not be brought in. If a particular prop is necessary for the story. a location must be chosen where this prop is to be found.
2. The sound must never be produced apart from the images or vice versa. Music must not be used unless it occurs within the scene being filmed, i.e diegetic sound.
3. The camera must be a hand- held camera. Any movement or immobility attainable in the hand is permitted. the film must not take place where the camera is standing; filming must take place where the action takes place.
4. The film must be in colour. Special lighting is not acceptable (if there is too little light for exposure the scene must be cut or a single lamp be attached to the camera).
5. Optical work and filters are forbidden.
6. The film must not contain superficial action (murders, weapons, etc. must not occur.)
7. Temporal and geographical alienation are forbidden (that is to say that the film takes place here and now).
8. Genre movies are not acceptable.
9. The final picture must be transferred to the Academy 35mm film, with an aspect ratio of 4:3, that is not widescreen. Originally , the requirement was that the film had to be filmed on Academy 35mm film, but the rule was relaxed to allow low-budget productions.)

10. The director must not be credited.
