LitPick Review
Supposedly everybody wants to be a director, but what would they be getting themselves into? First, directors have to use the film script to figure out the key points to start filming. They figure out the genre, what it is about, how to shoot it, which angles to shoot from, lighting, and so on. Then, they need to start filming the movie or television show. Sometimes the director needs to talk to the actors about the characters they are portraying. Still yet, the director needs to be there in the editing process. Overall, the director does a little bit of everything. Do you have what it takes to be a director?
Opinion:
I have been interested in acting and filming for a long time. I thought that this book would give me information on what exactly a director's responsibilities are. This book was definitely satisfying because it gave me basic terms and "rules" that directors use all the time. I liked how there were constantly examples from shows or movies. Some parts were slow and boring, but they can be skipped. The vocabulary is easy to understand, and if a new term is introduced it is defined. I recommend anyone interested in directing read this book for information.
