The Meeting Place

The meeting place is a short film I created as a third year degree project. It explores the stylistic features of foreign film. It does this by manipulating expected stereotypes of 1960s French New Wave cinema, such as British actors who look European and shot against the background of London's streets in a typical black and white grain. By combining the features of foreign film with strong beacons of British identity all the important cinematic techniques used to achieve the 'foreign film' are made more apparent.
The loose storyline follows a young man traveling to meet his heartbreaking ex-girlfriend who is returning from a new year in Paris with her new husband.
