The Production Assignments
Pick a film of your choice on which to apply the auteur theory.
Consider:
• Who is the Director?
• Why is this film a good example of them as an auteur?
• What is their aesthetic style (ie do their films look and sound the same)?
• What themes do they commonly use in other work?
Break your chosen film down in relation to the above questions, in the same way as we have done with Wes Anderson.
What specific elements of the film show that it is the work of the auteur you have chosen?
Once you have answered these questions and established how your auteur operates, I want you to write an essay plan for the following essay question:
Critics of the auteur theory argue that film is a collaborative process, and therefore cannot be the attributed to the work of any one individual. How would you argue against this? Refer to a specific film of your choice in detail.
