Auteur Edgar Wright research quotes/links

This is a video to show that Edgar has a specific way of shooting scenes: 



This is a quote from a person who is exploring the idea of Edgar Wright being an Auteur: 

For editing techniques, Edgar Write is known for his sequences of fast cuts. These last for a bout 5 seconds each time they happen and only happen when a character is seen preparing for something or for fast forwarding action. This is linked in with themes and actions that get repeated. (Source: X)


This is another quote from a person who is exploring the idea of Edgar Wright being an Auteur: 


Last night I dared to say on Twitter that, after seeing Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, director Edgar Wright is on his way to gaining status as an auteur. This sparked a lively debate among friends on whether this was true, or even what the definition is of an auteur. To my mind, an auteur is a director whose work is instantly recognisable, no matter what the narrative of their film entails, and who tells stories in a way that is both familiar and refreshing with each film. I stand by my statement that Wright puts such a unique mark on his work that with a few more films, he could easily join auteur ranks. (Source: X)
