A director is the main creative force behind the production. The director has a vision of what they want the production to look like and it is partly their job to get that to become a reality (the producer will hep with this). The director behind a production needs to carry out several duties. These include: - Casting - Script editing - Shot composition - Editing (sometimes) - Directing actors (and crew) on set The director also must know all about the creative and technical aspects of the production. The reason being, they are the only link between the creative team and technical team on a production. Apart from the duties you need to carry out as a director, you will also need to have several qualities and be able to do other things to be able to carry out the jobs that need done: -You must be committed to your project. - You need to be a confident leader as you're leading the crew and cast. - You need to be able to make decisions quickly. - You need to be able to collaborate with others. - You need to motivate the team. - You need to have extensive knowledge of both the creative and technical sides of the production. - You need to be able to work intensely for long hours. - Be able to remain calm under pressure. Overall, the director needs to be able to work for long hours and do their job well. Otherwise, the production will be cancelled and not succeed. The easiest way into any job in the film industry is to start as a runner on a film set or in a production office and you will have to work your way up from there. It will take a lot of time before you reach your desired role but if you have patience, you will be able to do it. One of my roles on my project is director. Therefore, I will be researching into one of my favourite directors and then explain what inspiration I will take away from them. despite the fact my end product for my final project is not a single piece of work. Ridley Scott:
Ridley's movies always tend to have some kind of urban setting and also ten to involve family relationships at the core of the story. For example, in Gladiator (2000), there are several family relationships covered in the film: Maximus and Marcus-Aurellius, Marcus-Aurelius and Commodus and Maximus' relationship with his son is briefly covered. Scott also tends to have a good reputation for getting good performances form actors (much like Christopher Nolan). Therefore, he most defiantly knows how to carry out his role very well. He most defiantly has the qualities needed to be a great director and his filmography and reputation shows that. When participating in my role as director during our project, I plan to carry out all of the above duties and try and gain the qualities I need. I am already able to make quick decisions and work collaboratively. However, there are qualities I need to work on. For example, I need to work on staying calm under pressure and I need to work on my technical knowledge. The inspiration I will be taking from Ridley Scott is I want to look into introducing a narrative into our videos and I also would like to experiment with multi-camera videos. Sources:
