Nolan on Directing



What are three key important pieces of advice that Nolan has to say about directing? How do you think you could incorporate this advice into your work going forward?

1. The more you create, the more you learn
Narrative structure can be learned from doing short films. Short films are created in a shorter amount of time, and so therefore it requires less money to make mistakes. Student films can make these mistakes and learn from them.

2. Play to your strengths
If you have a certain strength, consistently practicing the craft will make something that is unique to the individual. Incorporating the desire to pursue their strength may not seem valuable immediately, but it will pay off in the end.

3. Study other's films
There is much to learn from other's films. By looking through the structure of the narrative, geography of the setting, these points can be incorporated into one's own films.
