* BreakingTheFourthWall: The very first scene in the film does this, with a long static shot of a camera on a dolly doing a slow tracking shot from the middle distance into the foreground. When it stops, the cameraman in the scene swivels the camera so that it's pointing directly at the viewer.
Added DiffLines:
** Subverted. The film's single most Fanservice-y scene is the opening one, inserted at the request of the producers because they didn't think that the film was titillating enough. Camille lies naked on her stomach on a bed, next to fully-clothed Paul, and asks him which parts of her body he likes. Godard shot the scene first with a red filter, then with no filter, then with a blue filter, which successfully distracts the viewer from Bardot's body and diverts attention towards what's going with the whole filter thing.
