Ashford 5: – Week 4 – Discussion

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses. Reference the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric for guidance on how your discussion will be evaluated.
 

The   Cinematic Auteur

 Review the Modeled Discussion before beginning your post. Auteur theory in film suggests not only that a director is the primary author of a film, but also that the film must be analyzed within the context of the director’s other films. Directors create certain expectations with their films much in the same way authors create certain expectations with their writing.
 

As you construct your initial post, focus on the importance of auteur theory in film analysis and interpretation.

• Name a director who you would consider an auteur and explain      your reasoning.
• Discuss the arguments against auteur theory and provide      examples to support your points.
• Examine how the auteur theory influences audiences and      critics, using examples from film criticism, film marketing campaigns, and      your own personal experience.

Include the name of the director you identified in the “Subject” line of your discussion. Your initial post should be at least 200 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly sources, and properly cite any references. By Day 7, respond to at least two of your classmates who named a different director than you. In each response, discuss whether or not you agree with your classmate’s assertion that the director being considered is an auteur, and be sure to provide examples to support your position. Each response should be a minimum of 125 words.
