Adding Value to a Project
The good director moves beyond the choices made by the competent director with regard to:
1. Complexity of narrative
2.Approach to characterization
3.Approach to the narrative
4. Issue of surpris e
5. Point of view of the director
6.Camera placement

I get a lot of questions about how to get into film. The simple answer is to get creative. Chuck Tyron of the Chutry Experiment writes up a great review of a very high profile, low budget crowd-sourced film, Life in a Day. This film combines traditional story-telling conventions and 21st century technology (i.e. knowing the rules and breaking them). In the review Tyron opines:
As I watched Life in Day, in fact, I was reminded of YouTube earlier, mostly unrealized utopian fantasy of global community, one that is based in the shared banalities of everyday life–our morning rituals, our moments of vulnerability–as well as the cultural and economic differences that continue to mark our daily existence.
Whether it be a film with progressive idealism or a film filled with sharp criticism, a director must want to say something. Budget-be-damned.
