Auter

Auter refers to the term of author and creator and the idea that some film directors impose a personal vision on their films. It's argued that Hitchcick stamped a number of creative features on his films including;

•  very high angles shots
•  exaggerating lighting effects
•  precise editing
• Characters who are trapped or imprisoned
• exaggerated point of view
• creative use of sound (diegetic/non-diegetic)
• Misleading relationships
• Cameo appearances of Hitchcock

Voyeur; refers to watching something we are not supposed to be watching, also known as voyeuristic viewing.

Another known auter is Steven Speilberg.

• Jaws
• E.T.
• Schindlers list
• Close encounters of the third kind
