Current and aspiring film directors can make their job easier by studying the 10 directing fundamentals outlined in detail in this book. The first five chapters are practical in nature: a successful director must first have a screenplay, a cast, a crew, a budget, and good health. The final five address the psychology of directing, including the development of craft, command, pace, luck, and chutzpah, which the author defines as boldness coupled with extreme self-confidence.
Synopsis
The lights go down, excitement and anticipation fill the air. Images dance across the silver screen, taking the audience for an emotional ride before the house lights come back up. The person primarily responsible for this cinematic journey is the film's director. It is possibly one of the greatest jobs on earth, but it is also a challenging, complicated, and exhausting way to make a living.
