I echo this sentiment.

"Once they get a take they are happy with" I was legit expecting to hear "they'll shoot another one "just for safety" Force of habit ;) Great video as always !

Some directors, once they get a take they are happy with, will shoot an extra take and allow the actors to improvise or experiment with the scene.

THANK YOU THANK YOU. I’m 24 and recently got signed to a production company as a director. I’ll be doing commercials, but i can’t wait til the day i start shooting feature films.

Sorry this is late, but I want to be a director, and I’m about to graduate high school. Where do I even start?

As for people who interested in directing, I cannot recommend you enough books "Sculpting in time" by Tarkovsky, "Bresson on Bresson" and "Notes on Cinematography" by Robert Bresson, Ingmar Bergman books as well, and in general, pay attention to the "Film d'auteur" theory and such.

Noticed a lot of directors back then dressed so professionally on set. Wearing full suits must have been a hassle on sunny days.

i really love that bit with PTA. Id like to share i little nugget of knowledge ive been carrying all throughout my career: tell what you know. you can never go wrong with telling stories that you already know. nothing pretentious about it, its just you sharing what you know and what youve experienced.

Thanks for always showing a diverse representation on your videos. It hasn't gone un-noticed. xoxo

Thank you for this one!!! So great to have more focus on the Director's role and Process! I would love a series of videos detailing his role at each part of the production process i.e Development/Pre-prod/Production/Post-prod/Distribution. Or any other useful videos similar to the ones you have made for cinematographers. Thanks!!

You’re making some of the best film-related videos on KZread. Absolutely gold and informative. Thank you mate.

What a perfect timing, I have just started making my first Short from yesterday and got this video. Got lot of clarity. Thanks for being my film school. Keep Educating us. Love from India.

This was great. Thanks!

Thank you so much for your videos! they help me understand the process and become a better filmmaker!

My man. Goldmine. Thank you!

I would add more about trust and collaboration, they seem to be highly important for a director (and giving credit to the people who deserve it is just as important)

Another gem!

This a was a great breakdown. Thank you for getting to the facts while still making filmmaking seem magical

thanks dude !!

I love your videos. To the point, clear, pretty, and detailed in the technical side of film without becoming daunting. I leave them feeling thoughtful and inspired. Thanks so much and all the best for 2022 :)

Really appreciate knowing more about PTA's process too. I've loved his work since I saw There Will Be Blood in the cinema as a teenager, and it's comforting to know how much prep he does!

Great Video

Wow!! I mean this video is really helpful to any aspiring filmmaker or anybody who's just curious enough about these things. Well explained, Simple, easy to understand and on the point. Another great Video from your channel. Thanks👏👏

This channel is really helpful for me and gives lot of information and knowledge. You have cover all the crew members. But can you make a video on 1st assistant director and there work and responsibilities through the film shoot.

The Farewell is not listed in the credit...which you refered to.

I'm just so happy to see PTA laughing

Thanks

The ending credits artwork looks similar to Louise Zerg's stuff. :)

Loved the video. I have one question, though. It is my understanding that in animated movies, the producers are given more credit than directors. Can you make a video that explains why that is?

This video hits different after watching boogie nights haha

I have a question… I and my friend were arguing about who has the right to say so when it comes to actors and actress. can Film distributors say to a producer/ director, that they don’t want this actor or actress in the movie?

Hi I am always interested in directors and their role in making a move good or not. Without being specific do directors get a weekly wage, or a set fee, and do they get a share of any profits? it must be hard trying to wonder where your next job or pay check is comiong from.

can you do the producer one?

what camera is PTA holding at the 16 second mark?

well then what does a film producer actually do?

do directors write the script ?

In a lot of cases yes, but some also direct screenplays written by others or co-write the screenplay

so a director is in charge of making everything good

I think a better way of saying things, would be thanking the video creator for bringing up talented directors... Doesn't matter their gender or race, all that matters is how good they are... Really strange comment you wrote. And it's funny, because, implicitly, your comment seems to put whatever their gendrr/race above their craft, their hard work, their talent. In the end, comments like yours are the ones that divide, rather than bring together. You are a participamt of the very own issue you wanna defend.

Let's stop putting attention on it so they can all just be called directors not "women directors" or "POC directors" thanks. - A biracial guy.

Thank you for including female directors. Many male youtubers/podcasters never include female directors.

Hats off to you for focusing on a diversity of directors, i.e. not only white men
