Answer 2

Answer:

Auteur's Theory

Explanation:

    Auteur's Theory (author, in French), emerged around 1954 and is primarily defended by François Truffaut. This method of film analysis was originally associated with Nouvelle Vague and critics writing in the magazine Cahiers du Cinéma. This assumption says that a single person owns a particular movie, that is, that movie is considered "yours," so many associate movies of particular directors with style films and own brands. “This is a Truffaut movie. From Tarantino. From Woody Allen. ” The director is considered the author of the entire movie, without worrying about the entire crew involved.
