I want to become a director - Do I need to know how to draw?

Question

I want to become a music video director... Do I need to know how to draw at all?

Any additional information about becoming a director will be helpful.

Thank you!

Answer 1

not really. the only time you might need to draw is when your skecthing your ideas for the music video. Its also good to go to school for directing and producing films, even if film isn't what you want to do. Also make contacts with editors and producers and people like that. if this is really what you want go to collage for it. it will help tons!

good luck!

Answer 2

Not necisaraly

Answer 3

Drawing well? No. You may need to just draw and sketch a quick idea for the video's layout, but it would be like you'll need to be the next van Gouh.

Answer 4

You will need to hire a special type of artist if you can not do the bulk of the high quality drawing needed in pre-production for movies and videos. This special type of artist is called "Story Board Artist." Second, I would highly suggest you at least learn the basics of acting in addition to learning to direct! This way, you can speak to your actors in a language they understand. It will make your life as a director much easier.

Answer 5

well not really but im sure it would be a great thing to take lessons because it may be needed for video ideas etc..  

hope this helps!
