I gotta come clean fellas....
I don't know what a Director actually does
I gotta come clean fellas
They direct
The literal german translation of "director" is "Führer"
Depends on the director. Some are the driving force that make the idea a reality, some just approve or deny rough cuts and take credit for everything.
Think of a film set like it’s a work environment. What does every work environment need? A manager. That’s the director.
They sit in the director chair
Imagine you. The boss man. You sitting in the chair.
You tell the actors where to go, what to do, how to say it.
Then you film it, analyse the film inyour monocule, and cut it up, beore shipping it to Hollywood.
Shot composition (including camera angle, camera movement and blocking)
Performance of Actors
Final approval of the finished film (usually)
sometimes they do everything
To distill this a little better, the director is the manager in charge of the creative vision of the film. All the other creative department managers work off what the director tells them.
There are a bunch of managerial roles in a fully-fledged production, the director's just one, not even necessarily the top one.
Ignore all the vague posts. It's pretty objective. This guy has made a decent video about it.

You tell the actors... how to say it.
Good way to overdirect your actors. Directing actors is as simple as casting them if you're doing it right.
the director has the creative idea and know how to make entertainment.
Final approval of the finished film (usually)
that goes to the producer

hell no. thank god for chatgpt
The video "This Is How You Analyse Film Directing" by Moviewise offers an in-depth exploration of the director's role in filmmaking. It breaks down the director's responsibilities into several key areas:
Visual Composition: Analyzing how directors use framing, camera angles, and movement to convey meaning and emotion.
YouTube
Actor Direction: Examining how directors guide performances to align with the film's vision.
Pacing and Rhythm: Understanding how editing choices impact the narrative flow and audience engagement.
YouTube
Thematic Consistency: Looking at how directors maintain thematic coherence throughout the film.
The video emphasizes that effective film directing involves a harmonious integration of these elements to create a cohesive and impactful cinematic experience.
tl;dr - the guy has zero professional experience and is just working off what he learned in film school and/or other YT video essays
ty very helpful.
He follows frog spammers home and rapes them to death in front of their single moms.
hell no. thank god for chatgpt
tiktok brain rot
you need to be 18+ to post here. sorry OP but u need to go back
Is it possible to become a director without knowing how to use a camera?
Watch it faggot. I don't generally watch youtubers but this guy is decent. He's more patrician than majority of Anon Babble anyway because he openly admits golden age hollywood is better than modern shit. Also he loves westerns like I do.
They direct their piss stream into different peoples mouths
YTslop is the OG brainrot. YT's algorithm has birthed a generation of creators with great skills in drawing out what could be summed up in a few sentences into 10+ minute long videos.

SAAR
You direct you to your seat you dumbfrog
Think of a film set like it’s a work environment. What does every work environment need? A manager. That’s the director.
Then what does a unit production manager do?
the guy has zero professional experience
And how much experience does anyone ITT have? What experience do you have besides cracking open chatgpt like a pajeet kek?
you stand there
you stand here
say it this way
say action
say cut
sit in chair while editor does the work
Aside from that, they make decisions like what stock to use, what camera, etc. Basically just managing the set unless they're also the writer.
you don't get a story or context with a few sentences.
the YT vid opens with a question: how does a film with an award for best director?
it's creating a narrative to draw you in. that's something your precious sentences cannot do, and is possibly worth the time tax. if it turns out to be shit, I can turn it off at any time.
thank god for chatgpt
We’re fucking doomed
whataboutism
Most of the people ITT are not pumping out weekly 10-20 minute long video essays talking about a subject they have near-zero firsthand experience in.
This. It’s right in the name
Takes credit for everyone else's work.
/thread
You sound like an actor who always thinks they're the smartest person in the production.
And your implication that actors will get it right solely from casting the right actors is quite flawed in actual practice. Actors can/will have different interpretations of a story which can result in conflicting tones for the film. So the director has to ensure that the film's tone is cohesive by making sure everyone sticks to one vision. Not to mention, some actors may some direction because the writing may have overlooked a certain aspect of a character. Another common reason is that the production might want to have various options in the editing room. There's many reasons why directors will "direct" actors to deliver dialogue.
creating a narrative is something my precious sentences cannot do
read a book sometime dummy
they direct you to your goddamn seat
a whole movie? eh, i'll wait for the book.
read a book sometime dummy
your chatgpt summary isn't a book retard

How easy would it be to do this? E-celeb faggots make good money apparently.
don't trust this guy, he doesn't have professional experience
t. guy with even less experience
By that logic you should just close this thread, since nobody here has professional experience. See ya!
ok, but what does a producer do?
How easy would it be to do this?
I assume it's pretty easy to rake in 50k a year from YouTube.
Or, I could steer you philistines to resources from people with actual experience that might be more enriching for you than slop generated by a big movie buff.

Basically rich people who appreciate good art but are too untalented to create it themselves. Kinda like the medici or the borgias financing renaissance painters and sculptors
How? I’ve seen so many people bitch and moan about the algorithm shadowbanning up and coming channels.
They listen, when nobody else would.
I’m gonna need you to breathe clearly, not all fucked up like a retard.
John Cleese is predominantly an actor, not a director. At least post David Lean or Sidney Lumet or Ingmar Bergman or something, retard.
well no one has sufficiently explained what a director does yet, so wait your turn
lel. whatever he did he sure as shit know more about directing than youtuber "moviewise"
Yes. Tarantino did it quite well. Like it or not, he's extremely good at explaining things. When he was told that a director just needs to explain what he wants, he thought "That's easy.".
I was being sarcastic. it's as difficult as starting a small business.
if you want to make full-time money, you gotta put in full-time hours. and even still, maybe you make 1k a month (a huge success!) but you're never gonna replace your day job with that.
whatever he did he sure as shit know more about
Fuck, should have known I was talking to a brown ESL who is easily impressed by English fops with posh accents. No wonder you use chatgpt as a crutch, Rajesh.
o the irony
I know right. Ironic a brown guy like you is still servile to your British overlords even after decolonization.
If you want to understand what a director does, you first have to ask what they don't do. Then you will start to begin to learn.
the algorithm shadowbanning up and coming channels.
nah, it's just newbies who aren't willing to admit that their content is garbage.
even established YouTubers do this. Skallagrim (a sword youtuber) made this video complaining about it, and I shit you not, he said "I haven't changed anything so why is the algorithm giving me less views?". Bro for real doesn't realize his content is stagnating and people just moved on.
Didn’t really refute anything that was said though did you chief ?
He is essentially a project manager. He has to act like a politician to get the actors to put in good performances. He has to make sure the writers hit their deadlines. Makes the calls for rewrites reshoots, and he has to make sure the DPs the technicians and crew all know what to donon what days to hit all the studio schedule marks.
Yes. Only if you are rich enough to fund your own production and make yourself the director that way
You refuted your own point by outing yourself as a jeet in the first place.
Managing the unit production
Unless you write with autistically extreme detail, your script probably won't tell you most of the details for how a movie will actually look.
Directors decide all that shit. Like a script can say "a man in a spaceship is heading towards an alien planet," but the director is deciding how that guy looks and sounds and how he says his lines and how the spaceship interior and exterior should look and what the alien planet is depicted like etc.
You could potentially get rid of the director and just have the actors do whatever they feel like and have costume and stage designers who make up their own ideas, but likely if you were to do that you'd end up with a movie where things looked disconnected and randomly jumbled together without a common aesthetic or style tying it together.
he's the guy that gets to fuck the leading actress
Not even the same person you’re talking to so questions need asked about your ability to follow comment chains, genius. And, I note, STILL unwilling (or unable?) to refute points made. Interesting.
