Riley Scott on Directing P.1

Summarize three key things that are interesting about Ridley's early career. What does he have to say about storyboarding?

Ridley's career in commercials started during his university days. There, he learned the distinct roles of a director and a producer and how they collaborate in order to create a project. His career in making commercials led him to pursue this kind of film for a while until he was in his 40s where he finally started working with real actors. The 18 years of training he had in the industry allowed him to have more experience but it also posed as an additional difficulty. During these years, he learned to be more comfortable with actors and how to direct them in order to create the desired vision. He claims the importance of shooting during the first take because the actors are most likely to deliver exactly what was asked of them.
