AUTEURS THEORY He is a true auteur, as he himself calls the same. His movies are generally based loosely on his family and friends (e.g.-Uncle, Cousin and Brother. He says he love telling stories and biographies about his family and friends, which is why he came up with the word ‘clayography’ He never felt comfortable calling himself an 'animator’ or ‘claymator’. He thought he makes clay biographies. Therefore Adam calls each of his works a "Clayography" - Clay animated biography. All his movies have narrations. He says that he likes it when someone guides you through the film. His animations has a lot of feelings. It can make you amused, cry, happy and even angry. His movies are spectacular, and it's got an ability to communicate its concepts very well, which live action movies and other means of storytelling simply cannot. There is a pattern in his working style. All his works are about 'accepting difference'. It's an universal truth, that we all look for acceptance and love. Also that we are all different and unique from each other. Also, his films have a shared sense of national identity. That is I think because he was born in Australia and resided for a long time in Melbourne. His use of traditional 'in-camera' technique is notable. Means instead of editing shots digitally in a computer after shooting, he instead shoots the entire sequences in strict order. Therefore the final editing is already completed when the film is developed. He does not use any digital additions or computer generated imagery to enhance the visual aesthetics of his film. It's all done while shooting only. His choices of topics are quite different, from what is a mainstream storyline now a days in Hollywood animated movies. While everyone in Hollywood ... ... middle of paper ... ...er of a room on a chair, and take long breaths. Mary asks for sorry, and burns all her reports. But Max did not reply her. After a long time, when he thought that she was the only friend he had and she had realised her mistake a long time back. Max forgive him. These are few elements that holds us to the film. All these experiences are consciously and unconsciously related to a spectator. From the starting of the film, the story starts building around one of the central character Mary - an 8 years old girl, to whom, we slowly start relating with our childhood. As she starts learn things, we remember our days of childhood, when even we had our point of view about the things in the world. We remember learning the same way as we grew up. The film starts with the very basic stage, what we also call a mirror stage. It introduces to us the same way as we did to ourselves.

Wes Anderson started making Super 8 films and writing plays during his childhood. Anderson’s parents, Melver and Texas Anne Anderson, divorced when Wes was young. He describes the event as “the most crucial event of my brothers and my growing up.” (IMDB) Anderson didn’t major in film, but instead graduated with a B.A. in philosophy in 1992 from the University of Texas at Austin. His filmography includes eight feature length films and five shorts, all of which have similar themes on childhood, discontentment in life, alienation, longing, and elitism. His films have all been described using a seemly set list of adjectives. See “quirky”, “whimsical” and “twee” in the closest dictionary. Regardless, his style never comes without purpose.
” … an auteur is able to maintain a consistency of style and theme by working against the constraints of the Hollywood mode of production.” – Warren Buckland (2008)

Film editing by definition is part of the creative postproduction process of filmmaking. In today’s modern world, film has made use of advanced digital technology to help with the editing. The editor or editors are usually given a complete compilation of all the footage. These various separate shots that can be regarded as ‘ raw’ footage. Their task is to create a finished motion picture through combining and selecting shots and putting them into a coherent sequence of events.

For editors, it could be a possible annoyance or perhaps a blessing that critics and the audience never specifically point out the editor’s contribution. However it must be noted that film editors aren’t the only ones that will contribute to a films editing.
