Presota Studios

Welcome to the world 🎬 2024

As an aspiring professional filmmaker, I can certainly tell you that we do a LOT. Whether it's a large-scale film or indy flick, there are SO many responsibilities for all parties... I usually produce and direct my films, but I also act, do camera work, do audio work, edit, etc. I'll go ahead and give you the list of everything I did for my most labor intensive project...

--Write the script
--Find and cast talent and crew
--Acquire and provide equipment
--Scout locations
--Storyboard
--Run rehearsals
--Run meetings / dinners
--Coordinate schedules
--Plan shots
--Execute shots (this includes setting up cameras, actors, props, audio, etc.)
--Direct Actors
--Monitor cameras
--Monitor audio
--Monitor lighting
--Organize footage and audio
--Syncronize footage and audio
--Rough cut (basic edit) footage
--Create transitions
--Animate
--Key out green screens
--Create new audio
--Overlay new audio
--Create music
--Render early cuts
--Prepare and set up scene changes and reshoots
--Put on finishing touches

I'm sure there's plenty I'm leaving out here... but these are things I do regularly for my productions.

Joining the Director’s Guild
Membership has its privileges. That’s why you should join the Director’s Guild of America if you have a chance. It’s a union that includes directors, assistant directors, and several other positions in film and television. They protect the creative rights of their members, and one must be a member to work for the large studios. In addition, they have training programs where applicants can gain experience working in the industry. And it doesn’t hurt that guild members are guaranteed a minimum salary per week (in 2005, it was between $8000 and $15,000). To learn more about the Director’s Guild of America, be sure to check out their website.

Directing Movies – What Does the Director Do?

So what does a movie director do? Their primary goal is to oversee the creative vision of a motion picture, which means taking the script and translating it into a series of moving images. It also entails approving every detail related to the on-screen product, including lighting, camera angles, set design, special effects, and more. In some cases, the director will also hire key members of the crew (such as the Director of Photography).

Directors will attend auditions and give input into the casting process. They will then work with any actors hired to bring the script to life. This may include a number of rehearsals or none at all. Since actors can often challenge the director’s vision or bring personal baggage onto the set, it’s important for a film director to be able to work well with other (or at least have the authority to fire any troublemakers).
When filming wraps, the director’s job isn’t done. They play a pivotal role in the post-production process, working with the editor to sift through the various shots and select the ones most appropriate to the narrative. The director must also decide which scenes are included in the film and which get cut out entirely. In addition to editing the film, the director will help oversee the mixing of the film’s score and sound.
