The Auteur Theory

The Auteur theory is a way to analyze a film or other media forms.

This theory was created by Andre' Bazin, a French

Andre believed and held that films should reflect the personal vision of a director.

Andre was a film critic

If a director is an auteur, they are known to have full control and authority and will be left to be the leader of the production of the film or music video.

The auteur has connotations of the power that an author has of the writing and publishing of a novel.

If a director is an auteur, there will generally be a resounding theme within other works in their portfolio and similar shot types, cuts and special effects being used.
