    What does a director do?

    Directors are artists who, with creativity, experience and knowledge, transform the screenplay into a meaningful story made of moving images. In order to achieve this goal, directors take on a wide variety of tasks and are constantly on the lookout for the perfect portrayal of a wide variety of situations. ➟ Creative Concept Vienna

    • Dramaturgical elaboration of the screenplay and the dialogues contained therein, sequences of scenes up to the stage design
    • Instruct the actor in relation to developing a character, their emotions and motivations
    • Definition of camera settings such as shooting angles, camera movements or lighting
    • Guidance of the different samples
    • Various tasks in the post-production of the film

    This applies to a director at Das R&, the film production company from Vienna, and in the production of feature films or plays. This is because Das R& directors also support video production in Vienna from the script to post-production in Vienna.

    Why do I need a director?

    A talented director is like the conductor of a successful orchestra. The extensive tasks of the profession require a powerful imagination, the intuitive feeling for the effective implementation of various situations by actors and actresses as well as extensive technical knowledge. This combination of talent, technical know-how and experience enables directors to stage a work which achieves a successful effect.

    This not only applies to large film and cinema productions, but also to the video production that you commission in Vienna for your video content marketing.

    What types of directors are there?

    When specializing as a director, a distinction is made between four main areas.

    • Film director for cinema films
    • TV director for live TV shows
    • Theatre director for stage plays Dialogue director for dubbing

    How do I become a director in Austria?

    Although occasionally the story of the career changer who was able to establish himself or herself as a director is told, this should be taken with a grain of salt. There are very few who direct successfully without a solid education and only because of their talent in film or theatre.

    If you really want to become a director, the first step is to decide on a well-founded education in specialized universities such as the Vienna Film Academy. Alternatively, there are courses specifically focused on the topic. However, due to limited time, important basic topics that you need for directing films or theatre are not dealt with in such workshops and short training courses. ➟ Service Production Vienna

    If you have enough stamina, try your luck directly at a film production in Vienna or other federal states as a member of staff. Maybe you will have the opportunity to acquire the knowledge that is important for the directing profession in very small steps and over several years.

    How much does a director earn in Austria?

    A director’s income is difficult to define. Especially when first starting out, it is usually not enough to cover the cost of living. Inconclusive surveys revealed an average monthly salary of around 3,500 euros. Established directors in Austria receive around EUR 25,000 gross for four months of work for the production of a 90-minute television film.

    A dream job as a director makes the highest demands. In order to establish yourself as a director for film or theatre in Austria, a lot of talent for this profession and a sound education are prerequisites. Very few succeed in lateral entry. The labour market is also difficult and primarily offers established directors a sufficiently secure income.
