Our group was given the task to research an "Auteur". Our chosen Auteur was Spike Jonze, the man behind cult hits such as "Fatboy Slim - Praise You", "Beastie Boy - Sabotage" and "Da Funk - Daft Punk". We noticed multiple artistic signatures throughout the clips, most of which will be explained below.
The first thing the group had realized was that Spike Jonze tends to have a lot of hand held camera work. The effect of this is that it gives the viewer the feeling of involvement. A good example of this is in the "What's up fat lip" video, where the camera wobbles and follows Fat Lip.

The second thing we noticed is that all the videos include members of the public, this includes shocking, disturbing them and doing things out of the norm. An example of this is ''Fatboy Slim - Praise You,'' this video involves people dancing in what looks like a shopping centre. The public seem generally surprised and try to ignore them, this relates to when you see buskers in the street.
Also, the camera seems to be held by one of the public and once again this gives off a more realistic effect.
