I love the shot where two men are walking (shot from behind), and the wind is blowing, and the newspapers fly around.. It lasts at least a few minutes. Niiice! ;) Oh, and the very end as well, - that man closing the window.

Haha... You're right! I prefer "data" to quotes. Thank you all! I think I'll go now and finally write! ;)

Thank you to all who contributed with their answers! :) I'm researching as much as I can on the Internet in order to find titles that used a technique, or "broke a rule" first ever (or at least close to that). I'm writing my thesis on breaking the rules in graphic design, and I'm also doing a few pages on photography and film (as I see them connected). I'm not educated in film history, but I'd like to have my data right, and not miss some important elements. So, I'll just ask a few bonus questions, just in case someone here knows the answers, and takes the time to answer them. (I'm not asking anyone to do the research for me B)) Regarding the lens flares, I've seen stills from a black&white, 1958. movie (I Soliti ignoti) that has them... But I'm far from knowing which movie was the first to use them... Can we at least say that in Hollywood, the first one was Easy Rider, 1969.? (source: Vissions of Light documentary). Did maybe Kubrick have them in the 50's? The 180 degrees rule, I suppose it was broken a few times before Kar Wai Wong came along.. The western DJ Kast mentions probably is older.. Does anyone know a more older example? Hollywood/non-Hollywod, doesn't matter.. Splattering the camera... (with blood, water, whatever) When did that start to happen? The only thing I read was about John Toll (Braveheart cinematographer) having sea water splashing the lens of the camera in the movie Wind. Seeing how this was 1992., I suppose there's tons of earlier examples..? Showing frames simultaneously on the screen; a movie called Time Code did this in 2000., with four frames. Any other examples of this technique? Eisenstein, I suppose, did a revolution by focusing on the montage... In which segments did Citizen Cane make a revolution in filmmaking (other than deep focus)? I guess that would be all for now.. I hope I'm not bugging too much. :unsure:

I'm a big U2 fan, so I must mention All I Want Is You and Stay - both with beautiful b/w cinematography.

Hello to all of you... writing my first post here! ;) I'm doing a research of breaking the rules in movies/filmmaking, and would appreciate any suggestion you might have! For example, the lens flare.. I've read somewhere they were once considered mistakes, so they had to shoot the scene again if it happened! I didn't find when did they become acceptable... In the 70's? Drop frames are another example, handheld camera, also the 180 degrees rule.. but to go further down that road, I'd need your help cause I'm a newbie in film theory. So, what rules would be some of the most important, conventional ones in the field of filmmaking (cinematography) that are being broken in the last few decades? And which filmmaker are breaking them? Sorry for my English... and thank you very much for your replies! :) Neven U.
