What is an Auteur? Auteur theory explained! Film & Media Studies revision

[@riyapandey4828]

i love your explainers videos. As I am pursuing film studies, they are really helpful.

[@chloehowls7129]

I'm doing my dissertation on Tim Burton movie's and had to look into Auteur theory. YOU ARE MY LIFESAVER!!

[@TheMediaInsider]

Glad to help - if you're looking for some really good information on Burton as an auteur, the film theory book in my recent film books video has an entire section on him.

[@boblamb2571]

Just come across this when having heard the word I looked it up - brilliant video. As soon as you explained it I went to Wes Anderson - with a current film out there are so many references to the Wes Anderson style.

This is the best video I've watched on this!! Saved me for my college project thank you

[@11alekon]

I got a new assignment last week to write about Auteur theory, thank you for this video!

[@TheMediaInsider]

Nice timing!

Do YOU Have notes?

[@mgtowchampion7961]

Wow what a good way to waste your time on something utterly fucking pointless.

[@rujmah]

Fantastic video. Thanks so much for your work.

The ending argument example was what I was thinking the whole time I was watching the video haha

[@pamelabuenaobra7900]

This video me helped a lot on my assignment. I'm a communication student🙂

[@annikaelisabett]

Thank you for making another brilliant video! 🙌

Thanks for the brilliant comment!

Great video. I was hoping to find out where the footage of the french cinema, around the 1:44 mark comes from. Thanks!

[@coyote_2146]

this is a lovely video, awesome job!

[@trorisk]

Well explained. I would have made choices of lesser-known authors (Larry Clark, Kechiche). very good video

[@leguyingreen1153]

just around 8:00 you mention Tim Burton films looking like Tim Burton films, while showing "The Nightmare Before Christmas"- Directed by Henry Selick

[@marciaprior7104]

it is a Burton story and he had a lot of creative control over the film. He wasn't able to direct as he was working on another project at the time. Selick was a long time collaborator. Netflix looks at this film in their "Movies that Made Us" series.

[@leguyingreen1153]

@@marciaprior7104 my point being, that The Nightmare Before Christmas looks like a Henry Selick film.....

Lol the Michael Bay comment made me laugh 🤣🤣

[@gwizzzy]

Are you an auteur because you made this KZbin film? Are KZbinrs in general auteurs because we can recognise their work and because usually, they are the sole producer, director, cinematographer, editor and actor? I'm thinking that the rise of these personal, auto-fiction type stories people are telling on the internet is the next logical stage of 'autuer thoery' what do you think?

[@claytonharbaugh308]

That Michael Bay joke was fucking excellent.

[@arty4252]

how would michael curtiz be classed as an autuer- i need to write about it for my casablanca essay : )

[@ishmaelodonkor3778]

One observation I made from this masterpiece is that the lady is natural loving homey girl.. Omg! She’s criminally beautiful and calm but very active when you get closer. Bruh if u find a woman like this you don’t waste time straight put the 💍 on it.

[@fakerfab]

This is why I love Zack Snyder films!

[@TheMediaInsider]

I hate to say it, but I think he's all style no substance! His films do look stunning though

[@itsshmidy956]

I think that the movie Tenet is the most raw Christopher Nolan movie he has made

Love Tenet don’t love you tho first comment stealer 😞

Everybody's just salty that they're not Michael Bay LOL (just joking, not trying to start any trouble)

[@TheMediaInsider]

You are probably right! I think he gets quite a lot of flack just because his films are quite formulaic, but like I said in the video, surely that makes him an Auteur!

[@_jamietownsend]

2nd :( 🤦‍♂️

[@itsshmidy956]

Not first tho

[@Jazzellelabelle]

Shame you ruined you piece with overbearing music volume:-(

[@roquefortfiles]

I absolutely hate this term. You want to be an....."Auteur?" great. Go get yourself a camera then go and light the set on your own and run the camera all by yourself. Then you can call yourself an "Auteur" at all of the cocktail parties. Making movies takes hundreds of people. It could not be more a collaborative effort. Ego makes Auteurs.
