Film in Theory
Structuralism: A method of interpretation and analysis of the aspects of human cognition, behaviour, culture, and experience, which focuses on the relationship of the contract between elements in the conceptual system. The doctrine that structure is more important than function.
Semiotics: The study of signs and symbols and their use or interpretation.
Auteur theory: An auteur is an artist, such as a film director, who applies a highly centralised and subjective control to many aspects of a collaboration creative work; in other words, a person equivalent to an author of a novel or a play.
Feminism: This means the film is intended for women and to show a different view on women different to societal views.
Queer theory: Film studies in regards to gay/ lesbians.
