Skills One Must Possess During a Film Direction Course

Film direction is considered as one of the most creative domains associated with transforming the ideas of a writer into a visual presentation. The professionals in this fieldwork make the films interesting and appealing. The role of the film director is to manage all the creative aspects of production while working with the production team. They also have to coordinate with actors, editors, camera operators, sound engineers, and more to accomplish a film successfully.

 

 

Film direction requires a set of creative, technical, interpersonal, communication, and leadership skills while shouldering the responsibility for the creative and financial success of a film. To begin the journey towards becoming a filmmaker, you need to build those necessary skills while pursuing one of the courses in film direction. With the increasing popularity of media channels, the film industry demands new talent with the right skills. Here are the key skills which one must possess while pursuing a film direction course from a reputed institute:

 

  • Management and leadership skills: Management skills are important for a film director. Every director needs to keep the whole picture in their mind and they have to pay attention to every single detail. This may involve organizing, scheduling, decision-making about several tasks which need to be performed by several people like singers, cameraman, spot boy, etc. Additionally, the director should lead and give respect to others members in the tea, so that others help and fulfil the directors’ vision.

 

  • Technological expertise: The film director must possess technical and artistic skills. Technological terms change very quickly in the film industry and directors must stay ahead of all the latest trends.  Deciding on particular scenes to knowing what was captured during scenes, and what can be used later in post-production is important for a director. All such concerns require technical knowledge which will come after the right training and work experience.

 

  • Creativity: Making movies is impossible without creativity skills. From start to finish, it requires a vision that may develop the interest and involvement of everyone in a film. Creativity is a necessity for film directors since they have to tell the stories to the audience through their films. They have to narrate the story in a way defining the mood, timing, visual style, etc. Pursuing the right course from a reputed institute will help to sharpen the creativity skills of students while providing practical training, internship opportunities, and more. If you really want to make a career in film direction, then you must apply now for a film making or film direction course.

 

  • Communication: Having good communication skills is important for anyone working in the film direction field. No matter in what field you are specializing, good communication skills are necessary.  A great director has the best communication skills, technical expertise, and a well-defined aesthetic sensibility. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are important if you want to get the best from your whole film crew.

 

To foster all these skills, you must also have personal experience working on filmmaking and direction. Whether you are interested in online or traditional courses in film direction, you may consider pursuing a course from a reputed institute. Go through the programs offered and choose the one as per your interests.

New Voices - the beginning of a new direction

Further to the new direction in my writing career.

 

Okay, so you’re saying my writing career had no direction before so how can I have a new one?

 

Well, maybe having no direction is a direction.

 

Too Zen for you?

 

How about: If you write a book and nobody reads it have you really written a book? That one’s been driving me crazy since, well, since I wrote a book and nobody read it.

 

Before you? me? we? all of us? get too hung up (do people still say that?) on these esoteric ruminations let me continue.

 

All of my book marketing has been so far done online. I blog, I Tweet, I post on my Facebook page, I send out promotional newsletters to my Advance Reading Team, I review books, I’ve even gone so far as to join and contribute to online reading/writing groups.

 

And it’s got me_______. (You fill in the blank)

 

This direction(?) has been macro – my books are available through Amazon, Apple, Kobo, Barnes and Noble, Library Direct, OverDrive and a few more in Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Brazil, Mexico, Australia, Japan and India. They’re available digitally as epub, mobi, pdf, online reader and more, suitable to most reading devices including your cellphone as well as in paperback in the UK, USA and Canada.

 

My new direction will be micro – I’ll sell actual books to real people face to face.

 

My first experience with this will be on March 27, 2017 at the Vancouver Public Library where I’ll be reading my work along with five other writers in their “New Voices” series. (How after seven years, seven novels and two plays I can be considered a “new voice” says something – what I’m not sure.)

 

The event is from 7 to 8:30 pm and our host will even provide a table for us to display and sell our books. I don’t know about the rest of the participants, but I’m taking advantage of the table and might even break off from my reading prematurely if I see someone in the audience interested in the merchandise.

 

Having been a salesman all my life I’m not the least bit intimidated.

 

So, I’ve crunched the numbers taking into consideration the price of my books, the exchange rate, shipping and tax and if I sell a book for $15 it’s $4 less than it can be purchased from Amazon and I can still make some money.

 

Enough, I hope, to at least cover the outrageous cost of parking downtown.

 

This is marginally better than selling my books at a flea market or garage sale, but if the world doesn’t want to buy them maybe the neighbourhood does.

 

I’m not afraid of taking chances, going in a new direction, and maybe, likely, failing. I never know where things will lead what’s important to me is to keep moving forward.

 

Well, at least to keep moving.

 

One thing’s for certain, if I do nothing, that’s what will happen.

 

Stay calm, be brave, watch for the signs.

Wrong Direction - Kelly Jensen Thanks to the author for the effort and participating in this event and offering this freebie.

This was sweet but I didn't like it that much and I especially didn't like Alvaro he was getting on my nerves a lot, I also didn't find it funny, I guess it was just not for me.

Hmmm I couldn’t really connect with the characters….

About two college boys that are each other’s opposites. They have very little in common but they keep “meeting” in their shared bathroom!!

image

About mango’s, awkwardness and bubbles…

My thought’s bounced and swirled. “I missed you.” Had I said that out loud? “And I think I might love you,” Well, flapdoodle. A skinful of painkillers and I was confessing my soul.

“You know, when you smile like that I think I might more than like you, Alvaro.”

STORY LETTER:

Dear Author,

I had such a good feeling about this year. It’s my last; I’m on track to graduate near the top of my class, I’m working towards a degree in a field I love, and I even managed to score one of the coveted singles in the nicest upperclassmen dorm. There’s only one problem. Him. The guy whose single is attached to the other side of the connecting bathroom. The mess I could maybe ignore, it’s the singing I can’t take. Every night while he takes a bubble bath― yes, a bubble bath! It’s only a few weeks into the year and I don’t think I can take it anymore. Actually, I know I can’t. I’m gonna go over there and say something before I lose my mind!

So, how’d we get from there to the picture above? And what happens after that?
Make me laugh, everything else is up to you.

Yours,
Dys

There was a LOT of tenderness in this story, between two opposites who couldn't seem to stay away from injuring themselves at the bathroom (*lol*). It did warm my heart because the way that they took care of one another was very sweet. Unfortunately, the writing itself didn't really click with me. I had trouble to connect with Alvaro as the main narrator.
