real title - how he became a director - in the 70s
Good Director = artistic taste + production management sense + knowing how to play within film politics + timing and luck.
All of these factors are important and have to work in unison.
Jean-Paul Lepage why do you say film politics?
He says film politics in understanding the studio system and the producers and knowing how to manage egos and the like. Making allies and that sort of thing.
This shit will be exhausting but my motive-do what u can’t
Saul Cifuentes Film Politics is a huge part of being a successful Film director. Directors have to work within the boundaries of Producers and Investors. What you see on the screen is 95% of the time a compromised version of what the Director actually wanted to make. If you can't play that game it doesn't matter how good a director you are.

I directed 2000 commercials and was the best... yeah thanks man really helpful
Do 2000 commercials and be the best, the Ridley Scott way of doing things. Or just make movies. Your Welcome.
Well, yeah. There isn’t some magic tip that will make you able to sneak into a career. There’s too much bullshit around ‘how to get into the industry’ instead of actually being honest about skill, persistence and talent that’s built over time.
Thank the title of this video for misleading your expectations
Ridley Scott = 10 years of core education before actually directing full length films. Work hard, stay focused. 📽☕
GOD I respect this man..!
Amazing Video on Film Director's opinion about Cinemautography,I salute U Director - Sir for producing & made up Video on that particular topic like Cinemautography & Film studies,Thank U Sir,& Thanks to the Channel🙏👍👌💖🙏👍👌💖✌️🙏
Thanks!
A director's job is to take care of direction of production. So you will become a director if you care about your crew
Great!
Is the full interview on TH-cam?
How do I watch the full conversations?
An excellent director
it's the DP/30 guy!
0:31 the DP/30 guy, lol...I mean, not sure what "DP/30" meant to begin with, but he had all those film interview videos, and he didn't tend to appear in them...only recognize his voice...I think he did show himself in one or two of them, though, lol...and maybe the back of his head in another...but I recognize his voice, not his face...
Hey. I'm 14 and only a year ago realized I wanted to be a cinematographer/Director when I became an adult . I'm pretty sure taking photography in my Highschool wouldn't hurt, but other than that I don't know what else I can do to help myself achieve my somewhat distant dream. Can someone give me some advice or gudiance on what I should do?
Side note: I have an honors English class, and (not to seem...cocky) but I think I have a somewhat decent ability to write and tell a story. For as long as I an remember, in every video related project I've had for school, I've taken the roles of "director " "cinematographer" and editor. Mind that these are short videos for school projects, but nonetheless I think it helps me feel that I may have what it takes in the upcoming future. Does that count for anything? (another side note: PLEASE ignore all of the "content" on this silly little channel of mine, I have another where I post some other terrible content for the singular purpose of pointless pleasure, but this channel is almost 6 years old. I'd appreciate it if you ignored the fact that I made Minecraft/skit videos as a 12 year old.) Thank you.
SockmonkeyGirl it’s the same with me. I’m taking Media Studies at GCSE level currently, but don’t know how to get into the film industry:/
SockmonkeyGirl o not even think of success, just enhance your capabilities. It's not your desire but your competence that will make you grow." - Sadhguru
taking photography in school will definitely help you out a lot in the field you're trying to get into. that class helps you become familiar w/ different types of cameras, different lenses, even how to develop the film is a great start. sometimes the director IS the cinematographer, so knowing about which cameras does the best job w/ the right set of lenses can really give you an Idea on how to shoot a certain scene, and there's so much more that goes into it, but I recommend starting out small and maybe write some scripts for some short films you'd like to make. that's what I did, and I plan on making more. if you like reading, make sure to pick up "The Filmmaker's Handbook- A Comprehensive guide for the digital age", it's a wonderful book, it teaches you damn near EVERYTHING you need to know, and it's widely revered as the filmmaker's bible. so make some short films, make 1 a week, 52 weeks= 52 short films, and you'll do great.side note: you can do everything by yourself, directing, camera work, acting- but it's hard w/out a crew, so get some friends together. :)
Benjamin Fechtler I'm 14 also and I want to be a music video and film director and what I plan to do is attend the New York Film Academy and do their one year program .I would recommend that or if not try to direct plays and little stuff
SockmonkeyGirl Go into drama. It'll help you to understand how to direct
Is that the DP/30 guy?...Lol...I wouldn't know from seeing him, he never showed himself in those videos...but that guy sounds like him...
Hey my name is Tierra Richards and I am 16 years old. I have several movie ideas that are so amazing, but I just don’t know what to do with them, I don’t really have too much knowledge about films. These movie ideas are figured out from beginning to end I just don’t have the written script. I was just wondering if you could help me out or even hear me out with everything and decide from there. Thank you so much and have a blessed day.
Tierra Richards Google out how to write scrpits,turn those ideas into scrpits and then see if you can turn some of them into short films etc using the resources available to you.
A man who know's the thing but can't express it is equal to a man who don't know anything
Note:Someone told this to me and i thought you should know to..
I want to be a director too &i am 19 yr old..
Did you ever write a script Tierra?
Hit me up on instagram if you see this...my I'd is greekgod1812
He's the best director in the world
😂😂😂😂
2,000 commercials over ≈ 10 years, thats like filming 3 a week! pull the other one ridley
"Am I Communicating?" ☕ _c.
I spent ten years at a computer & oven, computers are a nightmare when they get hacked don't load up properly printers chew paper so there's a modern stance for ya, making films on your own? Is impossible writing them isn't i dunno!
DP/30 bloke haha
felt like i saw the lochness in flesh and quietly disappointed.
Why would the state owned not-for-profit BBC care if Scott was helping a commercial TV company? Why would the BBC think of them as competition"? What rotten system we had in the UK.
Not a commercial TV company, commercials as in advertising - commercials would play on other channels but never on the BBC, so it funded the other channels' existence. So by directing commercials, he was essentially helping / being part of the competition.
He didn't really say anything...So, just get a bunch of random jobs, toil away for a few years, 1:11 do that, and maybe someday, you can get a shot but you know, might not work.
Oh, and work for the opposing company to the one you work for! Like, okay, bro. I know you're a respected director who made some big classics but that's your experience not the misleading title of this video. "How To Become a Director." This is "How Riddley Scott Became a Director."
Uppy21 Yes. There is no answer to the question “How to become a director”, just “How *I* became a director”. Directing is a sort of intangible career - like consultancy - that you can step up to after a more tangible career in a core hard skill, for example professional editing. And you can come up from different avenues, most commonly writing and editing. Therefore there isn’t a tangible career path/blueprint for it. It’s jumping the gun to try and formalise it.
Yea, he was a great director once. Sadly no more....but he's left a greater mark than most with two iconic movies....Should have stopped a little earlier....
@PerrySport True
He could do nothing for 10 years and walk into a 30 year old producers office ... "Sorry, you are?? and what have you done?" I directed Alien.
Clickbait title
nothing new then ridley ..
Prometheus was a relatively new Idea cinematically speaking, he shot for expansion and everyone just wanted to see a xenomorph again.
There was nothing new about Prometheus, which hadn't been seen in other movies already. It even rehashed ideas from Alien!

Скотт это псевдо режиссёр в Голливуде, который не умеет снимать фильмы, он не делает свое кино, а нанимает профессиональных режиссеров, которые снимают фильмы за него, потом он им не платит и убивает.
