Resumo	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.	Genre Analysis in Film is a method for systematically examining how films belong to and innovate within recognizable categories—horror, Western, science fiction, melodrama, comedy—each with characteristic conventions, visual styles, narrative structures, and ideological concerns. Developed through film studies by scholars like Rick Altman and Steve Neale, the method recognizes that film genres are not fixed natural categories but socially constructed, historically contingent systems that structure both film production and audience expectations. Genre analysis examines what conventions define a genre, how individual films conform to or challenge those conventions, how genres evolve over time, and what ideological work generic conventions perform.
