Bad Directing

What does the director need to keep in mind with their scenes? What made the first scene shown an example of bad directing?

The director must always keep in mind what and who is important in the story as a whole. A character or scene may make an impact on the story, but the director must be able to recognize what the story is ultimately centered around or what the audience needs to focus on. Techniques used to emphasize a scene should be used scarcely so that they are able to have an effect on the audience. Using too many techniques that are ineffective for the scene can be distracting. This is what made the first scene shown as bad directing. Hitchcock, on the other hand, did not use any camera movement or movement in actors, forcing the audience to listen to the judge.
