There are many ways to create a film and people all around the world are always wondering what is the best way to do it. Many film artist believe in different in ways and theories to make something wonderful happen. A lot things go into making a film such as details of th story, lighting, camera motion, and so on but there is always curiosity of who should be in charge of all of this and that is where different theories come into play.

According to Andrew Sarris Notes on the Auteur Theory in 1962 "the third and ultimate premise of th auteur theory is concerned with interior meaning, the ultimate glory of the cinema as an art. Interior meaning is extrapolated from the tension between a director's personality and his material"(562). ...
