Idea.4

I was thinking about Auteur theory and some of my favourite directors , maybe i could pick two favourite directors of mine and compare them and whether or not they can be classed as Auteurs disscussing authorship and different traits both directors have and how you can recognise their films. I was thinking that Tarantino would be a good example because he has his own style, very unique but it could be argued that he isnt an Auteur as his ideas are taken from other resources, not entirely his own. I could focus on a wide variety of films of his and pick out all the reaccuring themes and traits that would put him into the Auteur category. There are problems with Authorship as you cannot just give the director all the credit as a lot of people are involved in the production side of things.
I could compare to David fincher or Sam mendes, or Tim burton, as these directors have a certain style as well.
Im not too sure about this and would need to talk to someone who knows about this aspect of film.
