How to direct.

A way to direct a movie is all about finding a unique thing to do in each of your movies. Such as Tim Burton he always has a Jack from Nightmare Before Christmas somewhere in each of his movies. Also Catherine Hardwicke who is the director of the Twilight Saga, has a theme of certain lighting, making all the main characters pale and have certain things bright, such as Victoria’s red hair. Catherine Hardwicke is also directing the classic, Little Red Riding Hood, the 700 year old legend. As you can tell the hood will be the brightness of the movie.

  After you have found your niche the next main thing to direct a film is all about framing, which means ways to the film. There is many different types of viewing the film but the main ones are, long shot, extreme long shot, close up, medium shot, and two shot.

  When you have done this, your next step is to edit all of your film and your shots. While you are editing you must think is this scene that can make the movie a drab or is this a important scene and it needs something special to happen.

In this website http://www.askdeb.com/blog/movies/how-to-direct-a-film/ they say the main 3 things to become a successful director is to have the ability to tell a story, have people skills and determination.  To have the ability to tell a story is what directing is all about, if you can not tell a story then don’t become a director. They also must have people skills, because at a certain time in your directing lives you must deal with a diva of an actor. You must be sure that everybody in your casts knows that you are the leader and that the diva actor or actresses can be replaced easily. And finally determination will make the movie come out to life for others to see.
