I personally feel that James Cameron falls into the auteur theory as a director and falls within the parameters of the definition provided in the reading‚ “directorial style.” (Gocsik 92) Cameron is an auteur of his own filmography. Any concept‚ style of any idea‚ theme or attitude that can be considered as obsessively used. In Cameron’s case this can be seen with his obsession of space and water or combination of both. Cameron’s obsessiveness is apparently clear in his filmography‚ taking into account

The Master of Suspense “There is no terror in the bang‚ only in the anticipation of it.” Alfred Hitchcock said so eloquently. He was not the man of horror‚ mystery or sudden shock—no‚ Alfred Hitchcock was a man of suspense. He understood the mind and how the anticipation of something was even more fearful than the unknowing. Hitchcock‚ to this day‚ will remain one of the most phenomenal directors of all time because of his keen eye for creativity in the simplest of forms. He created art out

Waking up the next day to find the panther’s ears in between the wife’s teeth ‚ holds the true essence of magic realism. The boarded window itself represents Murlock. The passage also tells us that he did not board the window because of the hatred for light and air but some other reason

“Yes‚ very much so‚ this is significantly noticeable through the reoccurring motif of the birds. I purposely used immobile birds‚ which are represented throughout the movie in photographs or as stuffed birds. The reason for this is because ordinarily‚ birds are liberated‚ however‚ though the use of immobile birds it metaphorically symbolises that both of the predominant characters‚ Marion and Norman are constricted‚ just like the birds. The use of birds is also a reflection of characters‚ which conveys

The Evolution of a Director’s style: Baz Luhrmann Topic 1‚ by Chrysoula Soteriades Baz Luhrmann who is well known for his flamboyant and extravagant cinematic techniques‚ his contract with story telling by making audiences feel apart of his movies and his philosophy of not using naturalism all come together to make him one of the most well known directors of all time‚ in my opinion he has not completely evolved from his Red Curtain Trilogy up until The Great Gatsby because he is still as exaggerated

In Shadow of a Doubt (1943)‚ Alfred Hitchcock creates many moments of suspense and mystery. Throughout the entire film the audience is taken through a ride of high moments of suspense and filled with a large impact of mystery. Personally this is one of my favorite films and I really liked the film imagery that Hitchcock used throughout the film. There were many moments where Hitchcock used a variety of his infamous techniques of cutting between scenes. In fact‚ Shadow of a Doubt was one of his favorite

Mash‚ a counter culture classic‚ the themes and techniques used‚ represent the ethos of 1960s - 1970’s youth perfectly. The first thing i really noticed with Mash was that it did not hold back‚ religion was mocked and Mash really didn’t hold back‚ this is very pertinent in one scene‚ the legendary Last Supper scene‚ followed by Painless rising from the dead‚ only after a nurse has sex with him. This scene also shows the use of satire as sex‚ and honoring the “Faux Dead” with the use of sex and booze
