The 400 Blows

The scene at the end of the film where the boy runs to the ocean uses this technique. The effectiveness of the tension the technique brings to the audience. It shows how far this kid has to run and gives you a point of view of the position he is in. It shows you that he is really on the run and determined not to get caught.
The second scene I chose was the scene where the boy is walking through the streets after getting in trouble and not wanting to go home. The technique brings effectiveness to the scene by showing the loneliness the boy is going through at the time. It does also show what the city looks like and shows what goes on in the streets and how people are in Paris.
