Structural cues: Handheld camera; Jump cuts; Street locations; Cinema about cinema. Accent cues, used sparingly: Irregular grid; Dots; High chroma; Rotated type. Composition: Hold long takes without reverses, walk the actors through the street. Type and lettering: Mix handwriting with off-the-shelf type, drop titles casually at the edge. Let one material quality come from the second style: Yellow, red, blue, dots, thin rules. Mood: Rebellion, Play, Intimacy, Exhilaration. Color: build on #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615 with a single accent drawn from #f1dfca, #f03d51, #3156af. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - French New Wave: Scattering jump cuts and handheld moves as style leaves only the pleasure of breaking rules, and the film stops being about anything.
# - New Wave: Don't multiply small decorations. Choose one starring deviation.
