What is the Auteur theory?
The Auteur theory is originally from France in the 1950's
from a range of French film directors such as Francois Truffaut who promoted ‘focus
on the contribution directors made on the style and form of film’.
When the term Auteur when translated into
English translates as Author, which means the director of any film is like the
author and there film piece will reflect their vision.
Nowdays an Auteur can be
seen as a director of a music video, an example of this is Chris Cunningham who
is well known for his work having a mysterious style and being unique, such as
with when he directed Madonna’s hit song ‘Frozen’.
