Exercise in Direct Cinema (1962)

Exercise in Direct Cinema shows Pierre Lhomme working with an adapted Eclair camera. Shot as a 'master class' project by a film school, we see Lhomme tethered to his sound recordist and boom man during filming. Lhomme wore headphones to hear monitor the sound, while keeping one eye on the viewfinder and the other open to judge action on the fly.
