Directing

After researching in to what kind of style I want for 'If I Was King' I have decided that I just want to keep it simple as far as camera shots are concerned, I am more than happy with "classic coverage" using wide shots, mid shots and close ups. It's my characters I want to do the talking and making the performances as effective as possible. Telling the story is the most important thing and that is what people engage themselves with. I'm a big believer in telling stories through the camera but I do not believe that any fancy film shots that would make film reviewers stand up and applaud would be justified in 'If I Was King'.

But as I am yet to get a D.O.P maybe they may offer something else to the table that may change my mind.....But I very much doubt it.
