film language:week4 Auteur and animation

Consider an animator of your choice you would define as an auteur and write a short explanation of how the criteria defined in the lecture might justify your claims.

I’ve always loved director Christopher Nolan. He is an outstanding film director, specializing in the production of several live-action films and psychological suspense works, such as the film Inception, the non-fiction film Oppenheimer. In The field of animation, he also provided some support for The Man of Steel, so I chose him as my analysis object to elaborate and define.

1.Personal Style

Nolan’s personal style is known for complex storytelling, deep themes, and complex psychological depictions, and he will design some unique elements of image processing symbols and set them into the plot, such as the dreidel in Inception, and construct a complete story background for the psychological aspects of the characters.
At the same time, he often uses non-linear narrative techniques in his films, using multiple lines to plot the story and finally converging into the main line, which can stimulate the audience’s thinking

2. Technical Prowess

Nolan is famous for the use of real shooting technology, not only including real shooting technology, he is also good at using miniature and other ways to shoot the real scene as much as possible, such as in Interstellar, he found a real corn field to shoot the farm scene, presenting the audience with a great visual impact of innovative works.

3. Interior Meaning

Christopher Nolan’s work is often deeply rooted, he is adept at exploring human memory, reality and dream themes, and exploring abstract concepts to convey deep inner meaning. Through the expression of visual effects and rich plot elements, the philosophical reflection on the human heart.

Through the definition and analysis of these three aspects, I also have a clearer understanding of the unique characteristics of Christopher Nolan as a director in the field of film and television. I am very interested in his non-linear narrative language, which is worthy of profound analysis by every film and television professional.
