Film Director
A film director controls a film's artistic and dramatic aspects and visualizes the screenplay (or script) while guiding the film crew and actors in the fulfilment of that vision. The director has a key role in choosing the cast members, production design and all the creative aspects of filmmaking. The film director gives direction to the cast and crew and creates an overall vision through which a film eventually becomes realized or noticed. Directors need to be able to mediate differences in creative visions and stay within the budget. There are many pathways to becoming a film director. Some film directors started as screenwriters, cinematographers, producers, film editors or actors. Other film directors have attended a film school. Directors use different approaches. Some outline a general plotline and let the actors improvise dialogue, while others control every aspect and demand that the actors and crew follow instructions precisely. Some directors also write thei ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cinema Of Chile
Chilean cinema refers to all films produced in Chile or made by Chileans. It had its origins at the start of the 20th century with the first Chilean film screening in 1902 and the first Chilean feature film appearing in 1910. The oldest surviving feature is '' El Húsar de la Muerte'' (1925), and the last silent film was ''Patrullas de Avanzada'' (1931). The Chilean film industry struggled in the late 1940s and in the 1950s, despite some box-office successes such as ''El Diamante de Maharajá''. The 1960s saw the development of the "New Chilean Cinema", with films like ''Three Sad Tigers'' (1968), ''Jackal of Nahueltoro'' (1969) and '' Valparaíso mi amor'' (1969). After the 1973 military coup, film production was low, with many filmmakers working in exile. It increased after the end of the Pinochet regime in 1989, with occasional critical and/or popular successes such as '' Johnny cien pesos'' (1993), ''Historias de Fútbol'' (1997) and ''Gringuito'' (1998).
