24-4614 The Assistant Director’s Workshop

Course teaches assistant directors how to run a set by assembling all of the elements needed for filming and for the daily operation of the shooting set. Course explores an assistant director’s objective of providing the director with everything he or she needs to put the director’s vision on film. Their duties are supervisory, organizational, administrative - and multifarious. Working within the structure that is governed by budgets, union and guild contracts, industry custom, and so on, they make schedules, attend to the cast, direct extras, oversee the crew as each shot is prepared, create detailed reports of each day’s events, and are looked to by cast and crew to solve many problems that arise in advanced productions.
