Auteur Theory

The auteur theory in film is the theory that, because of the way that a film has been directed (be this by pure randomness or a common style), the director becomes more of an author than the writers of the film or screenplay. Most of the best known directors, including Alfred Hitchcock, Wes Anderson, and Quentin Tarantino are all known as auteurs for this reason. To help develop ideas for my final short film/music video, I will be studying one of my all time favorite auteurs; Edgar Wright. From Scott Pilgrim vs the world, The Cornetto Trilogy, and Spaced, Wright has produced some of the best and most iconic films of the past decade. I will be looking at the work of this great man in much more detail in a video which will be posted on my blog soon.
