Innovations of the New Wave P.2

What were some key stylistic innovations of the French New Wave? How did it change shooting?

The new wave also incorporated new styles of camera movement. They rejected the static camera, panning quickly, and shooting a scene handheld. This was also a result of new technological innovations that were available at the time. The new wave was not just about rejecting the old modes of cinema. It was about experimenting beyond the strict rules to see what techniques enhances the story. In this, it did not matter whether or not the scenes seemed realistic or continuous as long as the story was communicated effectively. One interesting technique used in the New Wave was changing the framing without zooming or cutting. They were free to incorporate as many films as they desired in one shot.
