Topic/Question：
In the context of modern AI films, is the Auteur Theory still applicable?
Pro Argument: Auteur Theory Remains Applicable
Even with the use of AI technology, the creative and artistic direction of a film is still controlled by the director. AI can be seen as a tool in the hands of the director, similar to cameras or editing software. It does not replace the director’s creative decisions but enhances their ability to realize creative visions.
Con Argument: The Applicability of Auteur Theory is Challenged
As AI technology becomes increasingly involved in scriptwriting, editing, and even directorial decisions, AI could be seen as an independent entity in the creative process, challenging the traditional concept of the director as the sole “author”.
As the public becomes more aware of the role of AI technology in film production, they may start attributing the success of a film to technological innovation rather than solely to the director’s artistic vision.
My view: In the context of modern AI film production, the Auteur Theory remains applicable.
My primary objective is to explore the influence of AI technology integration on the role and creative authority of film directors, examining whether AI serves merely as a tool or reshapes directorial influence.My aim focus on whether the essence of the Auteur Theory persists in the digital era.

Alberto Mielgo+ (ahttps://images.squarespace-
Sarris’s three concentric circles – technique, personal style, and interior meaning – can be applied to Mielgo’s work. His technical prowess in animation, his distinctive personal style, and the deeper meanings he conveys through his films make him a strong candidate for being considered an auteur.
Themes:（interior meaning）
Alberto Mielgo’s films often explore complex human emotions and relationships. His works frequently delve into psychological and emotional territory, exploring themes like tension, fear, perception, and observation.
Ideology:（interior meaning）
Mielgo’s work carries a recurring ideology of challenging conventional storytelling and embracing unconventional and artistic narratives. His films often push the boundaries of traditional animation by combining realism with abstract elements, suggesting an ideological commitment to pushing the creative boundaries of the medium.
Style: （personal style）
Mielgo’s personal style is both distinctive and consistent. He is known for his unique visual storytelling, which often includes a combination of highly detailed, lifelike characters set against abstract or dreamlike backgrounds. This distinctive style is a recurrent characteristic in his work, making it a reflection of his artistic identity.
Aesthetic: （technical competence）
Mielgo’s aesthetic choices in terms of color, composition, and visual elements are consistently unconventional and visually striking. He often uses vibrant color palettes and dynamic compositions to create memorable and visually stunning scenes. This consistent aesthetic signature is an indicator of his authorship in his films.
Characters: （personal style）
While Mielgo’s characters may vary from one project to another, they tend to share certain traits, such as a sense of emotional depth and complexity. He often portrays characters grappling with psychological or emotional dilemmas, adding depth and richness to his characterizations. This thematic consistency in character development reinforces his authorial voice.
Merchandising:
Although merchandising is not a traditional criterion of auteurism, it’s worth noting that Mielgo’s work has the potential for merchandising due to its visually striking and memorable characters and aesthetics.

The inhabitants remained intently curious
Visual /Vibrant.journey
Music Artist/Monplaisir
Music Track/Welcome to turbo Rallye Clicker 4000 Nitro Futur Edition
Categorisation：
This work can be categorized as AI art, digital art, incorporating elements of surrealism and futurism.
Topic:
It explores curiosity about the neighbors in a whimsical and non-traditional manner. The responses from the commentators indicate its uniqueness. For instance, manglemike commented, “Amazing, diffusion art, it looks great! ” Additionally, comments like “Such a vivid dream” from cubicnoir_hacked_stranded and “By the way, the first guy looks like Freud” from midjourney_time
Form and function：
(What are the artist objectives and limitations?)
This film explores curiosity about the neighbors non-traditional(AI art)manner.AI art offers seemingly infinite possibilities, but it also introduces a significant level of unpredictability that can be challenging to control.They must navigate this realm through the use of limited keywords or prompts, offering some semblance of control over their work within the vast spectrum of AI-generated possibilities.
This balance between exploring the limitless capabilities of AI art and the constraints imposed by the artist’s selected keywords adds an intriguing layer of meaning and function to the artwork
Process:
The artist utilizes Midjourney in their creative process, which involves the use of deep learning algorithms to generate content. The resulting work is not only a product of AI technology but also carries the artist’s individuality and intent. This prompts us to reflect upon the relationship between the medium and the message, exploring the interplay between technology and creativity, thereby engendering profound aesthetic and philosophical contemplation.
In this context, the creative process, techniques, and tools indeed become an integral part of the artwork, rather than just serving as intermediaries, as they collectively shape the work’s substance and uniqueness.
Use of Space: This is a space characterized by constant change, and I find it challenging to categorize it. I would describe it as a pixel space.
Composition: The arrangement of lines and planes, with its abstract cuts, evokes thoughts of Cubism.
Light & Color: The entire image gives the impression of a continually shifting frame, especially with the artist’s post-processing.
Movement: The generated movements are imbued with a sense of uncertainty, aligning perfectly with the theme of curiosity.
Timing: It follows a progressive sequence of frames, showing a high degree of experimentation, which prompts thoughts of its potential for diverse applications.
Rhythm, Transition, and Audio Relationships: It carries a touch of a retro vibe, but considering the song’s description, it likely falls within the realm of futuristic music style.
