Who is the author of the situation?

To find the answer to this question we must first define what an author is and what it does. The author is in control of the story and the aspects of the story i.e. plot, characters, action, etc. This, of course, is my definition of what an author does. The author of a movie is something or somebody that controls what is in the shot/the frame(whoever or whatever controls what you are looking at). Point of view shots are widely used and accepted as telling who is the author of a certain shot. So when watching those four films in class today I looked for things that controlled what was within the frame. The author of that specific space. And I came out with this conclusion:

Tree - The wind was the author. It was in control of everything within the shot. It blows the tree, the subject of the shot, and the camera moves as if it is being blown by the same wind that is blowing the tree. This causes the viewer to feel as if it is moving along with the tree, becoming one with the tree.

One Black/One White - The white dog is the author. The white dog is in control of the other subject(the black dog) and the black dog's actions. It walks from dog bowl to dog bowl forcing the black dog to go eat at the other dog bowl. The black dog becomes submissive and allows the white dog to take over the bowl that it was eating at and moves onto the other bowl without fighting back. The white dog seems more aggressive, dominant, and competitive.

Two Dogs and a Ball - The ball is the author. The ball controls the dogs(the subjects) within the shot. It specifically controls the dogs' eye movements while they sit in place. Their bodies adjust accordingly to the movements of their eyes. The viewer is drawn in and starts to follow the dogs' eyes in hope of finally catching a glimpse of what the dogs are following with their eyes.

My Parents Read Dreams I Have Had About Them - The dreams that are written on the papers are the authors. They control what the parents say. The parents are just puppets to portray/bring about the dreams. The dad reads dreams that the dreamer has had about him and the mom reads dreams that the dreamer has had about her. What bothered me the most was the indifference the parents showed. They delivered the dreams with a very mundane tone of voice, I don't know if this was implied or if the parents thought it was a stupid idea to be filming this or maybe they are just too old. But, if I were them I would ask the dreamer about the dreams and try to come to a conclusion why he had them. I mean, if I were a part of the dreams that means that I was significant in that person's life, either in a bad way or a good way.
