The auteur theory


The auteur theory is when a director is seen to have a way of making movie that seem to unique to their personal style, and it how this style continue from movie to movie following simpler traits. Director that are consider Auteur are seem to have comply artist control over their movies, (even if they don’t)
Auteur theory was a way of choosing the personal factor in artistic creation as a standard of reference, and then assuming that it continues and even progresses from one film to the next.
Auteur Theory suggests that the best films will bear their maker’s ‘signature’. Which may manifest itself as the stamp of his or her individual personality or perhaps even focus on recurring themes within the body of work? Alfred Hitchcock plays this idea up in most of his movies where he makes sure that he appears on screen in a brief cameo spot. This became a game that viewers would engage in, waiting to find out when he would appear.
