Question

Filming on location, especially in small apartments, would ordinarily make it difficult to obtain a variety of camera angles and movements. How did Breathless director Jean-Luc Godard and cinematographer Raoul Coutard film part of the film in a tight space?

Answer 1

Godard and Coutard actually managed to film Breathless with the hand-held camera technique.

Step-by-step explanation:

Godard's Breathless is one of those movies from the 60's that needed few techniques to be shot in order to keep the tone of the film itself. For that reason, Godard and Coutard decided to use the hand-held camera technique as a way to maintain the directors vision to present the film as a documentary, or specifically, a reportage.
