Auteur theory

Discuss the ‘auteur theory’ covering
  • How it came about
  • What it really means
  • What problems there are with it

The auteur theory was developed in 1962 by Andrew Sarris, although it has been influencing filmmakers since Francois Truffaut advocated it in 1954. This theory is the concept of a director imposing his own style and the personality of a film. Their films will be clearly recognized as theirs as the ongoing themes and motifs are easily distinguished from other filmmakers. They will have a distinct style that runs through most of their films and in some cases, the visual elements will convey the film more successfully than the narrative; camera shots, lighting, mise-en-scene, and scene length all work to create this.

How and why, use examples taken from your piece ● What have you learned from this project that might be useful for the next project / FMP? ● Bibliography / list of references Our smashing stereotype  project had a concept of  the idea about ''don't judge a book by its cover''. The reason for us choosing to do this is because  we believe in today's generation and society  people cannot be themselves without having a label on them, for example a male may act feminine  however will still get labelled as ''gay''.  The reason behind us choosing this idea is because its a good way to get our message across about not...
