It used to be that film directors were very experienced by the time they started making feature films. Often they had to devote years to making commercials or corporate films and had a fair few grey hairs by the time they made it big. That seems to have changed with young filmmakers seeming to appear from nowhere. Of course, they have often taken their time to get to the top as well. It’s just that by starting at ten years old, they can be a veteran by the time they’re in their twenties. This is made possible, of course, because of the affordability and availability of good quality video cameras.
There are a number of things these young filmmakers quickly learn. One of these is that your neighbours, friends and relatives probably aren’t the greatest actors in the world. Whilst they can’t always put their finger on exactly what is wrong, they know that it is not how Brad Pitt acts.
Another area where these directors quickly learn to lavish attention is that of settings and props. The importance of a setting of a film cannot be overestimated. After all, if they manage to film somewhere that is inherently interesting, it is as if that setting has become an extra character. Atmosphere can be the key in many genres of film. Poor props will simply make a film look amateurish.
