26.1: Theory of Films  In this assignment I’m going to be talking about the different techniques, codes and conventions, and theories two different directors use in their films and their genres.  Auteur Theory: The director I am choosing to write about is Tim Burton. The theory I would link Tim Burton to is the auteur theory. The first way that he uses the auteur theory is, by using the same actors e.g. Johnny Depp and how he uses him as a main character in Charlie And the Chocolate Factory, Edward scissor hands, A nightmare Before Christmas(animation), and Corpse Bride (animation). A list of his films Are Charlie And the Chocolate Factory, Edward scissor hands, A nightmare Before Christmas(animation), and Corpse Bride (animation), Alice in Wonderland, Alice through the looking glass, Beetlejuice 1 & 2, Batman (1989), Frankenweenie, Planet of the Apes (2001), Batman Returns. Tim Burton uses the same actors in most of his films which is the use of the auteur theory.
