Pre-Production- Direction Skillset Meeting, Justifications and Research.

A big topic in this skillset meeting was directorial style and approach. A big help I find is that looking at films i like what would I do different in regards to what they did (close ups, handheld, wide shot etcetc)

I need to create a mood board that will complement my style, which would then be included into a directors statement for the end product. Based on feedback in the meeting, I need a clear vision of everything to do with the vision of the end product, nothing can be arbitrary.

I need an indepth research of directors and directing as an art form.

Something else I am worried about is working with people I don't know. Ive always used people I am affiliated with and if they would understand my vision and what not. I need to be professional and have the answer to any question that might come up, to ensure ive planned every outcome and professional as posible.

Also as a side note, don't hire dicks, as they will more than likely make the shoots difficult.

A huge tip I picked up from simon is to know my script so i dont need to look at it whatsoever, keep blocking the scene in my head, ensuring I know my plan inside and out.

On a side note, maybe being an assisstant director on another shoot? Would make for a great blog.
