Genre and Auteur

Genre

-Horror (the contrast between American and British horror films)
-Si-Fi (How special effects could have made science fiction films more believable and overall more enjoyable or have science fiction films decreased in quality because of special effects)
-Action films (James bond, how this franchise has survived for 30 years)
-Romantic comedy's (How this is traditionally more of a British dominated genre with, love actually, 4 weddings and many more)
-Teen movies (Archetypes in teen movies and how important they are at representing real life students)

Auteur

What is an Auteur

An Auteur is an Author or in this case a director who has his own recognisable style for example, Tim Burton uses Johnny Depp in most of his films to represent the outsider. He also remakes a lot of classic British stories for example, Charlie and the chocolate factory and Alice in wonderland. He remakes these films with a sinister darker side to them. His style of film making is completely original to him, his films are instantly recognisable as his movies.

Draft Questios

How Guillermo del Toro represents children in his films, how they are always orphans, how they are almost a link into innocence for adults.

The devils back bone, Pans labyrinth and hell boy (maybe show the contrast between his smaller budget and higher budget films.)
