Hey bloggers,
As already stated before in previous blogs, I have been assigned the role of being the movie director for our film opening. At first, I thought being the director would be quite a dull role, as being the actor and recorder seemed more intriguing. However, my mind was quickly changed when I was creating the storyboards and our first day of filming. ITS SO FUN! Being able to really express yourself and control what is happening in a movie definitely brings huge doses of dopamine. Lets really get into what it takes to be a movie director...
Most importantly, HAVE FUN/BE CREATIVE! Don't think that just because what you think may seem corny is going to also be felt by the audience. Sometimes we are too harsh on ourselves, which ends up limiting our creativity. Be free. Don't let the expectations and stereotypes effect what YOU want to do with your movie because at the end of the day, you are the movie director. Creativity is a huge component when it comes to being a director. You have to be able to make your movie unique. Think outside the box and don't be like everyone else. Adding that extra bit of OOMPH to your movie could be the reason why your movie does excellent at the box office.
Another excellent skill to have under your belt is to be a great problem solver. Many problems may arise on set, which could lead to unrest throughout the whole crew. This could end up leading to the collapse of your movie and all the money you have spent, gone. When any problems come up during filming, make sure to communicate CLEARLY with your crew, analyze the situation, be flexible, and be able to think creatively and critically. You don't want your whole movie to go to waste over a small dispute or disagreement.
