response to becoming a better director article

Directors do not have it easy, it's the hardest job in the field, mainly because they do a little to a lot of everything. It takes time, effort, and more time to master being a director, but here's some of the article's tips that can help. 1. Know what you want done, and how you want it done. Then clearly explain it to the people who will get it done. 2. Don't always stick to the script, sometimes you'll get some feedback and ideas from the people around you that can actually make your film better. Sometimes they are dead wrong, but learning from mistakes is a part of growing too. Lastly as previously stated being a director takes time. Be patient, take your time and be efficient, people will be coming to you with questions and you should usually know how to answer them.

Nice tips! I think I want to be a director more than any other (realistically attainable) career. So, its nice to learn about it. Especially since being the director seems like the most tasking job in filmmaking. You are the top dog and you bring everyone together to get the job done right. I believe its important that the director should know what he wants done and how to do it, especially since practically all my projects have been some sort of improvisation due to time constraints... or snow... Snow, you monster. But yeah being a director is super cool even though its hard work.
