What is Authorial Camera

Chapter 20
Handbook of Research on Strategic Management of Interaction, Presence, and Participation in Online Courses
An authorial camera is a particularly Hitchcockian flourish whereby a seemingly subjective camera takes you on a journey to reveal information, however no one can plausibly be assigned the viewing perspective other than the film itself. In narrative theory, this perspective would be assigned to an omniscient narrator, although in Hitchcock films the authorial camera is at times (such as the camera work immediately following the murder of Marion Crane in Psycho ) much more fluid than the rote stationary establishing shots of most films’ omniscient perspectives. Whose viewpoint is seeing this odd tableau of Scotty and the mirrored reflection of false Madeleine? It is the author of the film, and as with all stylized moments, the director is nudging us to receive some meaning.
