As per Jason Howden, making movies requires originality, and you can't call yourself a creative director if you haven't taken the time to learn about the variety of film-making skills.   You must possess the creative talent just to be able to envision the creation of a film if you want to work in the film industry, whether you want to be a director, post-production coordinator, producer, or in another capacity. No matter what you intend to specialize in as a director, you should be ready to contribute to the production of a film in any capacity that is required. From beginning to end, film making demands vision from everyone engaged in the process. Everyone draws into and off of the concepts for a film.
