Argues auteur films reflect a director"s personal vision in which the consistency, meaning, style and theme are revealed. Mise en scene: composition of the shots, editing, the interaction between sound and image, use of colour and setting, camera movement, the choice of d cor and accessories. Certain types of films: action, sci-fi and romance, follow set structures, trends and tradition in terms of setting, story and structure. This is used to create a clear picture of what genre film is actually meant to be. Used to sell a film to a specific audience as they know what to expect when they see it. Allows for a template to follow when producing, directing, writing these films where you would structure the film to follow a pattern.
