Auteur Theory - Basic Research

Auteur theory originates from France Auteur theorytheory of film making in which the director is viewed as the major creative force in a motion picture
 A director's film will always reflect their creative vision.

Auteur theory, which was derived largely from Astruc's  clarification of the concept of 'camera stylo' (camera pen), entails that the fundamental visual elements such as camera placement, blocking, lighting, and scene length, (which the director chooses) convey the message of the film rather than the screenplay (which the writer creates).  Supporters of the auteur theory further contend that the most cinematically successful films will bear the unmistakable personal stamp of the director.

The auteur theory was introduced in the 1950s by french film directors such as Francois Truffaut who fought for the recognition of the contribution that directors made on the style and form of the film. He quoted...
'' A true auteur is someone who brings something genuinely personal to his subject, instead of producing a tasteful, accurate, but lifeless rendering of the original material.

An auteur is a film maker whose style and practice is distinctive, creating a signature auteur status for them.
