World of Work- My Future Career as a Film Director

Recently we have been learning about the world of work and we were thinking about what we would like to be in later life. My future ambition is to become a film director. A film director makes lots of the creative decisions for a movie and also edits scenes.

To become a film director a lot of experience is needed. The experience can come from working around movie sets such as being an actor/actress or cameraman or by creating your own short films and animations too. Creativity, time keeping, management and communication skills are also very useful for film directing.

I would like to become a movie director because I am imaginative and creative. This would be good for movie directing because I would need to come up with imaginative ideas for the storyline and make creative decisions for the movie. Another reason I would like to do this job in the future is because I like writing and reading stories and this would be like putting them into action. I also like making short films and skits at home with my friends too.

The challenge I might face if I become a movie director is trying to stay in budget when I have good ideas. I’ll also need to be able to solve and adapt to problems that occur on set like if someone is working around the area I was filming in and is making too much noise I could change set or film the scene another day.  I would like to gain some of my own experience in acting so that I would be able to advise and guide the famous stars I may be fortunate to be working with! I really admire, Emma Watson from the Harry Potter film series and my dream come true would be to work with her on set.

I am very passionate about movie directing and that’s what you need to be for any job. Even though I will face challenges and things won’t always go as planned, I would love to be a film director and will work hard to achieve it.

A ❤️ of learning!

Primary 6 were asked the question:

If you could do something you love for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Here are some of our responses…

We talked about what we were passionate about, what our interests and hobbies are, what we wonder about and what touches our hearts.

Today we were introduced to GENIUS TIME.

We were asked to start thinking about a personal Passion Project that we could embark on, something we could really get our teeth in to. We were told we could build something, make something, create something, design something or collect something. Whatever we choose to do we must research it and then present it to an audience.

We have to take ownership of it.

There were so many ideas!!! We decided to think of some possible research questions we could ask to guide our projects. Here are just some of the ideas presented….

We’re going to be using our research skills, organisation skills, reading non-fiction articles, developing questions, writing, preparing and presenting!
