What qualities should a world-class director possess?

What I mean here is not the ability to tell stories, but the ability to combine the information inside the lens and the relationship between the lenses to form the amount of story information. This involves splicing thinking, which is the embodiment of a relatively large concept of splicing. This process is mainly reflected in the shooting stage, of course, it will also be used in the real shooting and later stage.

2, the ability to organize the plot

Given the story in the script, different directors will have different ways to organize the plot. Of course, the screenwriter can also give a clear plot. I recommend watching Schindler's List, in which a one-armed worker was killed. This story paragraph is divided into four plots by the director, which are interspersed with each other, reflecting the director's very strong ability to understand and organize the plots, which is amazing. In fact, if you study the classic works carefully, you will find that the stories of those good films that can be circulated for a long time are well-organized, which is what China films need to improve at present.

3, the field ability

Spielberg said that he is the most camera-conscious American director. For this, many junior directors will think that photographers can help you and they will find better seats. Photographers may have a more reasonable and accurate sense of location, but they still can't reach your understanding of the whole play. A successful director should not expect photographers, artists, etc. Do more. You may not know photography or art design, but you must know how to express a certain connotation with photographic pictures and what colors help to strengthen the theme of the film.

A successful director needs to have a strong on-site ability, and the cultivation of this ability is based on the director's accumulation of artistic literacy such as photography, art and music.
