요약	Auteur Theory Analysis is a critical framework for studying cinema through the lens of directorial authorship, examining how individual directors express consistent themes, visual style, and ideological perspectives across multiple films. Developed by French critics of Cahiers du Cinéma (notably François Truffaut) and articulated in American film criticism by Andrew Sarris, the theory posits that despite the industrial, collaborative nature of film production, the director functions as the primary creative author whose distinctive sensibility can be traced through characteristic patterns of style, technique, and content. The method enables scholarly analysis of directorial influence on cinema and challenges the assumption that mass-produced films lack individual artistic vision.	Semiotics in Film Studies is a systematic method for analyzing how film produces meaning through signs, codes, and symbolic systems. Developed from linguistic semiotics and adapted to cinema by scholars like Roland Barthes, Christian Metz, and Umberto Eco, it examines how visual, auditory, and narrative elements function as signs—consisting of signifier (the form taken by the sign) and signified (the concept it represents)—to create meaning. The method reveals that cinema is not transparent communication but a complex coded system where understanding requires learning film's specific sign conventions.
