Description
As a director, you must have a concept, a "director's idea", to shape your approach to the actors, the camera, and the script. With this
clear idea your film will be deeper and more effective, and you will be able to differentiate--and therefore make the choice--between
competent directing and great directing. Using case studies of famous directors as real-world examples of "director's ideas", the author
has provided the theory and the practice to help directors immediately improve their work.
Audience
Film and video directors; students
