Sažetak	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.	Visual Content Analysis is a systematic qualitative method for interpreting images, photographs, films, and other visual media to understand their meanings, social contexts, and cultural significance. Developed from art history, semiotics, and cultural studies—particularly Erwin Panofsky's iconographic method and contemporary approaches by Gillian Rose and Kress and Van Leeuwen—it decodes how images communicate through composition, color, symbol, and cultural convention. The method recognizes that images are not transparent representations but complex texts that require careful interpretive work to reveal embedded meanings and ideological assumptions.
