The freshest storytelling today is on television, where the multi-episodic format is used for rich character development and innovative story arcs. This exciting new edition of Directors Tell the Story continues to offer rare insight and advice straight from two A-list television directors whose credits include Elsbeth, Tracker, Criminal Minds: Evolution, The Ms. Pat Show, Chicago Med and many more.
Here, in one volume, learn everything you need to know to become an excellent director. Covering everything through prep, shoot, and post, the authors offer practical instruction on how to craft a creative vision, translate a script into a visual story, establish and maintain the look and feel of a television show or film, lead the cast and crew, keep a complex operation running on time and on budget, and effectively oversee editing and post-production. Directors Tell the Story provides behind-the-scenes access to the secrets of successful directors, as well as exercises that use original scripted material.
This newly updated edition features:
• More roles on set, including on-set writers, producing directors, intimacy coordinators, virtual production supervisors and virtual production designers
• New material covering updates to cameras, lighting, and new innovations in sound
• Updated “Insider’s Info” sections with advice and tips known only to working professionals
• Profiles of top film and TV luminaries
• Additional “How I Got My First Directing Job” stories from a diverse range of directors currently in the trenches.
Suited to students in both beginning and intermediate level directing and production courses, as well as aspiring professionals, this book proves valuable insight. The work is supported by a fresh instructor and student online resource featuring directing tutorials and video interviews with the authors.
