What Does a Director Actually Do?
Being a director is not simply about shouting "action".
It is about taking a screenplay, an idea or a vision and turning it into something that works on screen, while communicating with actors, cinematographers, producers, production designers, editors and an entire crew along the way.
This masterclass will take you behind the scenes of that process.
Giles will share practical insight from his own career, discussing what it actually takes to direct a film, how to work with actors, how to communicate with your crew, how to approach scenes, how to make creative decisions under pressure and how to develop your own voice as a filmmaker.
Expect honest conversation, practical advice, examples from Giles' own work and plenty of opportunity to ask questions.
