Many peoples want to be a film director without knowing what that is really mean. It is sound cool, but it is not for everybody. Before start your career in this, let me show you what this job is really made of.
It is a really stressful job. You have a lot of work and pressure on your shoulder, but at the end of your project you feel proud of what you did. This job forced you to know a lot of people and having a huge social web.
He give birth to a film. His job is to keep his vision of the movie on track. He tells people want to do and coordinate all departments. He does the staging and the blocking. This is mean how the action is showing and how the characters moving. He is like the creative leader.
During the preproduction, he sleeps, reads or writes script, finds investors, does story-board and talks to his contacts. During the production, he does not sleep a lot, so he drinks a lot of coffee. He leads the actors in theirs play and leads the technical staff. During the post-production, he sleeps more than the production, but less than the preproduction. He goes sometimes to the editing room and leads the editor.
During the production that can be anywhere. This is only depend on where the scene in the story it is supposed to be. So, sometimes film director travel around the world for shooting his film. Otherwise, the movie is filmed in a studio. In postproduction, he is in the editing room.
To become a film director, you need luck and social network. You also need to have creativity, patience, ambition, energy, and determination. You must be comfortable to talk with people, and you should know how to manage your stress.
That depend on your popularity. Some directors are poor and others rich. It is an unstable job. You never know if you can do another film. A lot of film directors do some others job like directed advertisement or tv episode.
You need a lot of experience in this world to see how it is work and to have a foot in this business. You can also study in a film school, but at the end, social network is what that can give you a job.
Risky stunts can be dangerous for your life. Toxic and violent fans can also be dangerous for the life of a film director. You can also be canceled by the public if your a bad person or if your are in a misunderstood situation. Otherwise, it is a safe job.
None. It is a social work. The film director have to know how to talk to human to lead everyone. In the case of an animation film director it is different because you do not need to have human contact.
Until he died or get tired. Some directors make movies at 80 years old. If the passion is always there he always can make movie.
I am in the step where am learning the ropes. I slowly make my social network.
