Which would you prefer to be?

Postby Matteo » Oct 25, '13, 6:35 pm

Say you've gotten a job in the movie industry and you have to pick one of these following professions, which would it be and why?

I'd go for directing, no doubt about it.

Acting, since I'm a decent actor and I love the art of it.

Considering the fact that I'm working on writing a book series, and I would give my left nut to have them be made into movies, I'd pick writing/screenwriting.

I chose directing but I'd never direct something that I didn't write, so yeah, impossible to choose.

Directing for me. Id rather be behind the camera then in front, but like Vaderbomb said, i would only direct what i wrote so writing is a close second.

Directing. I'm a visual person, and I enjoy writing, but it's hard to convey what I see in my head into words on paper. If I have actual things I can see and interact with, I could really show people all the ideas I have.

I picked directing, but if I were to direct I'd prefer to write as well.

Acting. I loved drama at school and regret that I didn't take it forward with any seriouness. I'll always remember my final drama project at school in my last year and my teacher coming over and praising my performance, gave me such a buzz.

Screenwriting. Creating a story would be the most rewarding part of the process for me. It's probably the area that I'd be most talented at also.

Though creating a score would be something else that I'd very much enjoy.

If I could choose any I'd love to be an actor, but more realistically given my skillset and lack of a Hollywood look (:P) I'd be a writer. I've always enjoyed writing and think I could at least put out a decent screenplay.

I would like to be a screenwriter the most of all on the list, but I wouldn't mind the others except acting because I have stage fright.

Really? I'd prefer to write my own content, too, but you just don't know what's out there.

I think I'd be the other way around. I could direct someone else's screenplay, but if I wrote something I'd have to direct it myself, because it'd be frustrating for me to watch someone try to make my own work come to life.

I agree with this sentiment more than vader's. Though lets be honest, if any of us had the opportunity to work on a major project in any capacity, we'd take whatever we could get. :lol
