Auteur study is a key element of film studies and has become
increasingly important in media studies, thanks to the popularity
of cult auteurs such as Quentin Tarantino and David Fincher.
However, this theoretical aspect of film can seem obscure and
difficult to communicate. "Teaching Auteur Study "provides a
coherent and clear approach to the topic. Using examples
throughout, the guide outlines the main elements of auteur theory,
provides an overview of how it developed, summarizes some of its
main proponents, and considers the influence it has had in the way
we think about film. The book describes the criteria for defining a
filmmaker as an auteur and explores issues of creative control. The
guide also looks at the idea of film authorship from the point of
view of the audience, and how it influences audience expectations
and marketing campaigns.
