Sergio Leone, the motifs of Leone is how he uses a very similar cast with his own style. In the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly he uses many of his many characteristics in film. This is seen by the:

• Opening titles what are always the same what he uses to add his own artistic style at the beginning.
• The main principle actors are made up of a 11 people who play different roles in the dollar trilogy.
• The Mexican standoff by itself is a trademark of Leone.
• The shots of the eyes to signify conflict and tension is a clear style choice by Leone as well.

James Cameron is a hard one to decide if he is a auteur or not as he doesn’t stay with one genre or has clear film style. However there are stick out things what can lead to you considering him as auteur:

• His way of balancing multiple protagonists in a movie.
• How he handles females as the main hero and are the ones who are usually made to be both strong and compelling.
• He casts actors he’s worked with before occasionally.
• He is able to make nonhuman people feel real and give them emotion.
• His biggest detail of him being an auteur is how ambitious and incredible is his cinematography is in movies.

Horror Film cinematographers, Neal Frederick’s (Blair Witch Project), Pablo Rosso (REC 2). These 2 cinematographers are going to be the cinematographers I am going to be inspired by as both shoot in first person and have been behind the most classic POV horror films. Rosso’s switch between first person and security cameras will be definitely the main inspiration of the whole scene though in general as it shows different types of cinematography.

Sport Film cinematographers, James Crabe ( Rocky), Maryse Alberti (Creed), Vittario Starrio (Apocalypse Now). Crabe and Alberti’s styles will be the main inspiration from the shots as they are able to show ambition and ability of a person through camera shots. Starrio’s scene from Apocalyse Now, on the boat will also be inspiration as I want to show enjoyment in the character.

What I am aiming with these 2 scenes is to have them both being able to show a complete contrast. What I mean by that is the both style and movement of the camera as in the Horror scene it will itself contrast from switching between a still and moving camera what may be presented as a messy style while on the other hand the sports film will be clean and continuously moving with many different shots what will present a cleaner style.
