What is auteur theory?Show answer
Auteur theory holds that some makers stamp a recognisable, consistent personal style across their body of work, so the maker is the true author of the product. An auteur's films share visual, narrative and thematic signatures: a way of framing, a recurring colour world, a rhythm of editing, a set of preoccupations. Studying auteurs teaches you that a style is a set of consistent, repeated choices, which is exactly what Unit 4 asks you to develop.
