Auteur Theory!

The Auteur Theory is a French Film Theory that high-lights the specific things a director would use, that someone would be able to identify throughout their other videos.

- Their Themes
- Personnel
- Structure

Also There is a thing called The Hook... which consists of,
- Close Ups of the Artist's Face
- Female Objectification - Male Gaze
- Repeated Effects
- Product Placement - Intertextuality

We looked at... Anton Corbijn

Corbijn born 20 May 1955 is a photographer and director from Strijen, the Netherlands. He is widely acknowledged by the music industry, mainly for being the creative director of the visual output of prominent bands like Depeche Mode and U2.

The Killers - All These things I've done.
-Black and white
-Religious
-Killers, Sign
-Narrative, Abstract, fighting and running from girls
-Narrative only makes sence when the clips with the numbers at the start are put in the wright order, otherwise its abstract & confusing.

Our Video has these in it...

- The themes will probably be a crazy serial side to what the real world looks like.
- We wouldn't use the same people unless we did their video again.
- i suppose we would use some of the same structure throughout as that's how we are designing videos.

- We are going to have quite a few of close ups to accent the main woman singing.
- we are not going to use any female objectification as it's indie genre.
- We would probably use the same effects in some of our other videos.
- We also would not use any product placement unless it was linked to the artists.
