Director's Statement
what is it?
well a director's statement is a document that the director should give to the producer(s) after reading the script.
why?
so they would know what the final product would look like.
what does it include?
basically the director's vision of the film,how it is going to look like,concept statement. he needs a treatment, background work and a directional approach to the project.
it can be broken down to :

1. story:how does he like to deliver it, who is the target market,the genre, the period of the story,any changes that he likes to add or subtract.
2. themes:film theme 
3. vision: which is everything that has to with what we are going to see on the screen(performance,vfx,cinematography, post sound, editing,…..etc) 

How do we differentiate a good from a bad statement?


Good statement   :       

1. is the one that has visual references in it.               
2. has a reasonable length.
3. shows that you've done some research before you've written it.
4. cover all sides of the film in it.

Bad statement:

1. if it was bad written(that will take a lot of credits from it).
2. if it has too many references(then there is no originality to your film)
3. if it was very long(then no one is going to read it) or too short ,(that shows that you are not into it).
4. if you haven't done any research before writing it, which your statement will be a bunch of opinions, because there is no facts to prove it.

im looking forward to write my own statement but let's wait and see which film it is going to be!

That's all for this week……………………….AU REVOIR!
