Job Roles(That I’m interested in)
Director
Producer
Director
The director has a key role in choosing the castmembers, production design,
and the creative aspects of filmmaking
A film director interprets a book or script, then translates that interpretation
into a film. This means that the director mustmanage all creative aspects of a
production while also working with producers, who tackle the business end of
films. Actor, editor, camera operator, sound engineer- a director mustspeak
the languageof each to successfully accomplish a film. Directors mustthen use
technical, creative, interpersonaland leadership skills on the job, while
shouldering responsibility for the financial and creative success of a film.
A quote that I thoughtwas quite interesting and inspiring coming from a
director is:
“THE MOSTHONESTFORMOF FILMMAKING IS TO MAKEA FILMFOR
YOURSELF.”- Peter Jackson
