How difficult do you think this job would be?
What skills are needed to be one? Read on to agree or possibly disagree with the solid points I make about the film directing industry.
Many times I have thought to myself, 'What skills do directors need?' I sometimes lay in bed at night and stare at the sealing wondering about this question. What skill is it that directors have? Is it drama, film production or even cinematics? As the film industry rapidly grows, so will the skills used as more and more money is put into making movies, making even more satisfying films to watch at the cinema.
Film directors have the most difficult but also satisfying job that I know of. They are given buckets of money and a cool story line, and are then sent out into the wilderness to use their creative imagination. It must be great to be able to watch the finished movie that you have made, and hear people talking about it on the streets and at work.
To be a director I would expect the skills needed would be:
- A good communication with people
- Creative imagination
- Positive attitude
- And being able to produce a wide range of ideas for the simplest of things.
These are skills that you can teach yourself. Ridley Scott started as a director for a BBC TV show and then moved to Hollywood in search for a challenge, he had a positive attitude against himself and was able to battle his way through other talented directors and get noticed with his big hits: e.g. Alien, Blade Runner, Thelma & Louise and obviously his biggest hit yet Gladiator.
As directors get more and more popular they start working with the big boys, the likes of Keanu Reeves and Tom Cruise are always part of a film directed by a well-known director.
I think that communication with other people is essential because it is highly important for a director can be able to speak in confidence to his cast and crew. I also think that having a creative imagination is essential because a director need to use a wide range of ideas to make simple scenes look amazingly creative, Steven Spielberg is a fine example of a director with a wide and creative imagination. AI his latest film hit shows just how crazy but creative one imagination can get, the clips and transformed into the real thing when Spielberg changes them from paper to the movies. I have also been impressed with Ridley Scottís creativity, he was able to make a movie into a real life time machine transporting you back to the Roman period, he made every detail exact and showed how amazing computer graphics can get when the gladiator Collosium was revealed.
As the present day directors retire and have fulfilled their lifeís accomplishment, new talented people will follow in their footsteps and come on to create the most amazing and creative movies that the world has never seen.
Not only will the directors change but also the cinematic history will change, new amazing things will be entered into the record books and people around the world will continue to become astonished in the world of movie directing.

But the rewards (and the money) would be more than worth it.

Extremely difficult.
It would be hard to be a director
I like to sneak in a word about HEAT wherever I can because I love HEAT and HEAT is such a great film. Did you know that HEAT was a remake of LA Takedown which was also directed by Michael Mann. He remade it as HEAT later on and although Takedown was quite good, it was nothing on HEAT. In fact, HEAT is my favourite film, though you probably already knew that didn't you?
Boy, it sure is HOT in here.....no that didn't work.

Will you ever stop going on about Heat? ;-)
It's not like I always go on about my favourite film...
DOGMA rules! Ahem...

I think the best director around is Ridley Scott. Michael Mann has also directed some quality films (including my favourite evr film - Heat) but I think Ridley has to get my vote because he has done much more brilliant films.
Hannibal
Alien
Gladiator
Blade Runner
and I really want to see Black Rain.

The best director around has to be Kevin Smith, and he even acts in his own films. What a bonus.
You're wecome.
