The Director's Idea

As a director, you must have a concept, a «director’s idea», to shape your approach to the actors, the camera, and the script. With this clear idea your film will be deeper and more effective, and you will be able to differentiate — and therefore make the choice — between competent directing and great directing. Using case studies of famous directors as real-world examples of «director’s ideas», the author has provided the theory and the practice to help directors immediately improve their work.
