AUTEUR • Auteur- a complete filmmaker • Conceives the idea for the story, writes the script or the screenplay, and then carefully supervises every step in the filmmaking process, from casting to editing • Given this, a film’s style can also be called the director’s style • Many elements of a film can be looked at to determine the director’s style
Subject matter • No other element reveals more about a director’s style than the choice of subject matter • Common themes running through films can be seen as style
Cinematography • Visual composition can be indicative of style: arrangement of people in the frame, camera angles, point of view, slow or fast motion, color effects, distorting lenses, etc. • Use of color, whether it is sharp or diffused, is also important
Others • Other elements that can considered when evaluating a director’s style are: • Editing • Setting and set design • Sound and score • Casting • Narrative structure
