An auteur theory is what reflects the directors creative vision.  An auteur is developed over time, its personality and character, it does not come out of the blue.  I agree on Wollen that directors should not be close minded it is essential to consider more than one opinion or idea in their development of films.  Another key element on auteur theory is the idea of a "camera pen", the idea that directors should wield their cameras like writers use their pens and they should not limit their imagination to traditional narration.  What makes a director unique is their openness to new forms of portraying their message though their films
