Auteur Theory

The Auteur Theory is when a director shows similarities through their own music videos through themes, editing styles and story-lines of the music video (if any). We looked at a music video director Hype Williams who has directed videos for artists such as 2pac, Jay-Z, Kayne West, Rihanna and Nicki Minaj. We watched 2pac 'California Love', Notorious B.I.G ' Warning' and Jay-Z "Big Pimpin'".   We found that there are similarities between all 3 of them within the camera work.
