•The
Cinematic Auteur. Auteur theory in film suggests not only that a director is
the primary author of a film, but also that the film must be analyzed within
the context of the director’s other films. Directors create certain
expectations with their films much in the same way authors create certain
expectations with their writing.
•As
you construct your initial post, focus on the importance of auteur theory in
film analysis and interpretation.
•Name
a director who you would consider an auteur and explain your reasoning.
•Discuss
the arguments against auteur theory and provide examples to support your
points.
•Examine
how the auteur theory influences audiences and critics, using examples from
film criticism, film
marketing campaigns, and your own personal
experience.
•Include
the name of the director you identified in the “Subject” line of your
discussion. Your initial post should be at least 200 words in length. Support
your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly
sources, and properly cite any references. By Day 7, respond to at least two of
your classmates who have named a different director than you. In each response,
discuss whether or not you agree with your classmate’s assertion that the
director being considered is an auteur, and be sure to provide examples to
support your position. Each response should be a minimum of 125 words.
