    Description

    Film directors are responsible for the interpretation of a written script, using their vision and creativity, along with organizational and technical skills, to deliver a complete motion picture. A career in directing movies is a high-pressure job, working under strict deadlines, budget concerns, and balancing numerous personalities and responsibilities.

    Tasks:

    1. Interpreting the script and making it into a film. This can involve planning locations, shots, pacing, acting styles and anything else which affects the feel of the movie.
    2. Overseeing the cinematography and technical aspects.
    3. Coaching actors and directing them towards the required performances.
    4. Coordinating staff on set, directing the shooting timetable and ensuring that deadlines are met.

    Key skills for film director:

    • Creativity and imagination
    • Good communication and 'people skills'
    • Ability to lead and motivate others
    • Excellent organisational and planning skills
    • Initiative and problem-solving ability
    • Decision making ability
    • Good time management and budget awareness
    • Calmness under pressure
    • Awareness of health and safety issues.

    Average salary (2013):

    Freelance directors are usually paid a fee for each individual contract or project. Rates can vary widely, and may be based on the budget available and your track record.

    Qualifications and training required:

    Movie directors can pursue bachelor's or master's degree programs or obtain training in film theory and technical skills through a certificate program. Certificate programs in movie directing vary in length but generally take less time than earning a bachelor's or master's degree. With either option, aspiring movie directors study filmmaking and film theory, cinematography, editing, lighting, and related tasks.
