Task 1

Unit 26; Film Studies Task 1

Script

-Pg1- Hello my name is Ben Taylor and today I’m here to present my College assignment Task 1 of Unit 26 Film Studies.

-Pg2- In this presentation I will outline the brief history of the Auteur theory, pros and cons of the theory and examples of this theory with my chosen director and chosen films.

 Pg3- For this assignment my chosen director will be Tim burton I have chosen Tim Burton because I like his work and I like the films he has directed.

Like many directors Tim Burton puts the way he wants the film to look to be for instance like with the feel in a film.

 

-Pg4- with Tim Burton he has films that have the same recognisable tradition. Films such as;

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)

Dark Shadows (2012)

Corpse on Bride (2005)

Batman Returns (1992)

Alice in Wonderland (2010)

Beetlejuice (1988)

Edward Scissorhands (1990)

 Pg5- As mentioned on the other slide directors have the same recognisable tones in their films. And like Tim Burton he delivers it with his films. For instance he puts a dark twist in his films. A gothic look, similar composers and actors, theme of Halloween and Christmas, old dark buildings, castles. Helena Bonham Carter, Johnny Depp, Christopher lee and Danny Elfman. Feel of music interludes. Buildings, churches, castles.

-Pg6-For Tim Burton I have chosen three films he has directed. The three films I have decided is;

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)

Dark Shadows (2012)

Alice in Wonderland (2010)

 

-In these three films it has recognisable themes of Tim Burton for instance it stars Helena Bonham Carter in all three films including Johnny Depp. It has music from Danny Elfman. Has a gothic dark feel in each film. It has colourful element to the film with light and dark. It also uses a big buildings such as a castle for Dark shadows and Alice in Wonderland and a Factory for Charlie and the Chocolate factory buildings used a lot as a primly base for the film.

Genres of his films are similar for instance apart from Dark shadows both are adventure and family orientated. Apart from Alice in Wonderland both are set as a comedy genre.

 

 

-Pg7- Auteur theory is when a director is able to take control of his film in its entirety and stamp his mark on it.

-Pg8- Thank you very much for listening to my presentation and if you have any questions feel free to ask.
