Auteur Theory (Edgar Wright)

As we can see from the table above Wright has used a white, male protagonist in all three of these movies who is played by Simon Pegg, something I didn't mention is the fact that his side kick/partner in all three movies is Nick Frost. He also likes to work with the theme of redemption. In Shaun of the Dead this is with Shaun trying to prove himself to Liz and redeem himself for all the things his done. In Hot Fuzz he gets redemption when he proves that he wasn't crazy all along and the head of the police is killing people. Finally in The World's End he gains redemption by beating "The Golden Mile" with his old school mates.
Wright also likes to use artificial light that looks like natural light. He also likes likes to use the speech over an animation when explaining a plan. However, this isn't used in Hot Fuzz as there is no point at which it would fit. He also uses very natural colours as many of his films are meant to look realistic and not futuristic and far fetched.
