Basics of Direction
Basics of direction means you learn the importance of direction in a film making process, you learn what is direction and what exactly will be done ?
If I have to describe the very basics of direction in one line then I have to say “Direction is a process of taking decision/decisions with clarity and have the courage enough to take the responsibility of it.”
Steps of learning in Basics of Direction
What is direction and who is a director ?
Direct someone or something is direction, and who does it, is called director.
How will someone can/should direct ?
For directing anything or anyone first and foremost what you need is clarity. This means with the help of clarity someone can/should direct.
Clarity of what ?
Clarity of what you are doing…and clarity over the situation, that what you need to do with it? Because clarity helps you to make a decision according to the situation.
And how much clarity do you have determines the quality of your decision and the quality of your decision determines the quality of your direction.
So clarity is the most basic and important factor for direction (not only direction but also wherever you need to make a decision you need clarity).
So you should develop yourself in such a way so that you could perceive a situation clearly,
Once you perceive any situation clearly, making a needed decision out of it will be as simple as drinking water and as smooth as tasty butter.
By the way, there is no perfect decision, but the needed decision is always the best decision.
Questions and Answers.
It ( film making ) can be only for entertainment, but in my views it should be for both entertainment and education, again, it can be for specific age group but in my views it should be for all age group.
Because all the explanation here is just my own view towards film making, you may or may not want this kind of explanation, if you want to see other form of explanation when it comes to film making then there are four platforms where you might love to learn about film making.
These four platforms are
1.Youtube ( Completely Free ).
Well, doing business properly also is an artistic approach, every action that we perform has a certain artistic approach attached to it, how much mature and skillful we are is the only question ? As we all know maturity and skillfulness comes with our own experiences.
Though film making is an artistic platform it also needs an proper economical management to work seamlessly with so many artistic people and leadership. Art definitely comes first but economical needs and management can not be ignored.
So if film making is an artistic platform then business is also an artistic platform, I don’t find both can be conflicting with each other until and unless they are against human well being.
If your wealth means money then answer is definitely yes. Simply because it is also related with the business platform, so your expectation related to money would be there too. But where does that money comes from ? From the society or from the audience lives with in the society who watches your movies, right ?
If your film making contribute to the society for human well being then it will make the entire society to become prosperous and wealthy not only you or your film making, the only concern is, to make a film you need money, to recover that you also need to generate money after release it, though there is always a possibility of profit or loss.
If we look at it an another view I think the real wealth is exist with in you and that wealth is the real and honest artistic nature that you have, if you miss that in the name of wealth you only have money but with the cost of losing the real wealth.
It is like you will get a gold plate at the cost of losing your senses, now how worthwhile that deal will be you can use your common sense. Money adds certain sweetness or headache to your way of living that’s for sure ( depends upon your way of usage and living ).
If you use money to increase sweetness to your life it helps also if you use to increase headache still it helps as money does not have discriminatory power, the way you use it, it increases the quality of it that’s it, not just the way you use it but also the way you are choosing to have it also determines the quality of your life or the standard of your living.
