Auteur Theory

For my director I have chosen J.J Abrams.

J.J Abrams is known for directing and creating the hit TV shows Lost and Alias. Both of these shows he has directed straight away both have similarities, they both are Sci Fi related and they have the habit of leaving you on the edge of your seat each episode ends.
He hasnt just directed sci fi films, he has directed the fast action paced film Mission Impossible 3. He has also directed other films aswell and these are Super 8 and Star Trek both by default sci fi films, in the film Super 8 there is a scene where the train crashes and it all goes wrong, the same story kinda goes for his TV show Lost, the island the people are stuck on just suddenly sinks, it feels like the same visual effects used with the train crash. J.J Abrams has used certain visual effects to create massive controversial film conspiracies, this is because when the film Cloverfield got released there is certain parts in the film that flicker and for all the Lost fans he put this logo in and its like he was trying to connect Lost with Cloverfield, the logo is a tiny picture of the Dharma Initiative, this the science lab that is involved in the Lost series.

J.J Abrams puts all his effort into his work, even tho the massive series of Lost he only directed a couple of episodes, he wrote all 115 of them. He got directors to come in and do alot of directing whilst he had time off to do other things, but he brought in directors that have had experience with directing Sci Fi TV shows or films before. There was one director that J.J had in repeadtly he was called Jack Bender, he has done previous work such as Childs Play 3 and also directed the TV series of Sopranos. Abrams also brought someone in to direct called Stephen Semel, he directed just a couple of episodes but looking onto his profile he has more experience with editing more than anything.
