Directors of film and television productions that involve a number of performers apply the skills and knowledge described in this unit.
Even though directors act with a high degree of autonomy and are ultimately responsible for realising the production's creative vision, they are members of a production team and need to collaborate with technical and administrative personnel during rehearsals and on film shoots. A high level of creativity is expected, along with the flexibility to make compromises where necessary.
Skills associated with directing television programs are covered in:
CUFDRT401A Direct television programs and segments.
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to direct performers during the filming or recording of productions.
Directors are responsible for visualising and defining the style and structure of productions. They must have the capacity to inspire and motivate their team to produce the film they have envisioned, so high level communication and management skills are essential.
As time and budgets are important to screen productions, directors are responsible for ensuring that performers and production personnel are well briefed and rehearsed prior to shooting.
No licensing, legislative, regulatory or certification requirements apply to this unit at the time of endorsement.
