 Hey guys it is Casey back here again where I am in English again where I am still working on Auteur theory but comparing to different Auteurs by the name of Stanley Kubrick and Baz Luhrmann. Basically I am talking about what makes them both unique and how they contrast heavily with each other.

Stanley Kubricks style is an aesthetically pleasing one with heavy use of contrasting colours and perspective. Particularly the use of single point perspective is used in his films where the camera is focused on a singular point. The long tracking shot is used a lot in his films as Kubrick uses it to build suspense in what is coming next. A lot of thought is put into each of films which are almost all adaptations of literature. He has over the years developed an understanding how to translate literature into the visual world.

Baz luhrmann is seen in the film industry as the anti Kubrick because they both have heavily contrasting styles. Kubricks style is more purposeful and nothing is overdone whereas Luhrmann has a more flamboyant style making his work more of a work of art than a thought provoking masterpiece. He often does this much to the displeasure of media critics saying he is not following the source material properly even though the result is a more artistic version of the story he is telling.

Anyway I hope you all enjoyed and I will be seeing you all in the next post bye bye.

 Hey guys it is Casey back here with a brand new post that is also the first for the year 2021. I am in ENGLISH today studying a concept known as Autuer theory and I am just explaining the three main things about it from Andrew Sarris. I hope you all enjoy this post regardless of how short it is

technique

In the article, Sarris says that technique can make or break a film as a director with no technical competence would be "cast out from the pantheon of directors" as it were. What this means is that an Autuer should be competent about their direction with the film as it is an art form like so many others. 

style

The artistic style is something that the director or Autuer is responsible for and it means that when you look at the directors works then you will notice aspects that could be considered the directors signature. These similarities across films have similarities to the director in how they think and feel. 

meaning

The meaning of the film is extrapolated between the directors personality and his material. This means that there is a connection between the material of the film along with what the director is like as a person.

So anyway I hope you all enjoyed this post and I will see you all in the next one bye bye.
