Read These Tips by Melanie Hogan

• Melanie Hogan Best service provider. So you want
  to Become a Film Director? You've emailed the odd
  production company to find out if you can come
  down to their studio and help out, you've emailed
  other directors to see if they would take you to
  set but none have replied and you've sat their
  and hoped someone will hand you a job on a plate.
  Yes, I know you have!
• However, when it comes to wanting to Become a
  Film Director, you have to take three VERY
  important steps to get your foot in the door
• Step 1 Tell yourself you will have to start at
  the bottom And we mean the very bottom. Whether
  it was Tarantino or Spielberg, all started at the
  bottom at some point making cups of tea and
  handing out biscuits. Yes, this is the luxurious
  industry you want to break into. When you want to
  Become a Film Director, the most important part
  if taking any job you can. This can include being
  a Tea Boy or Girl, being a runner which will
  involve collecting Actors and Props and taking
  them to set as well as running any other errands
  and you may even manage to get jobs in other
  departments. Do not turn ANYTHING down. If you
  can get onto a film set then do it.

Step 2 Experience is KEYAnd no, this does not
mean you spend 3 years in a college study Media
or Film. This is not experience -- This is time
wasting. What you learn at College, University or
School is not going to help you when you first
step onto a real feature film set. The way is
works, your on set etiquette and your discipline
are all things you learn when you actually begin
to work on set. Film sets are EXTREMELY dangerous
places, lots of cables, lots of people and lots
of heavy equipment. Everyone on a film set has to
rely on every other crew member doing their job
safely. If you have no experience then knowing
what to do and when to do is something you will
need to learn Getting that first job is extremely
difficult so when it comes to it, you are
unlikely to get onto the next Hollywood
Blockbuster or the next big British cult movie.
Instead, you need to get yourself out there and
force your way onto any Student and or Low Budget
movies in your quest to Become a Film
Director. Step 3 An often overlooked step - Get
an Online PresenceFacebook and Twitter do not
count. We are talking about getting a proper
online presence. However, this does not mean you
have to get a full blown website with all the
bells and whistles. What it does mean is that you
need somewhere to put up your qualifications, a
small biography, a resumé along with your contact
information. Having an online presence means that
youa) Look incredibly serious about what you
want to do. It's not just a craze you're going
through but something you want to do in the long
run.b) Gives any potential employers the chance
to check you out and also gives them an easy way
to keep an eye on your progress for any further
jobs the may have. All you have to do is give
them your link "http//example.com/your-name" and
away they go.
