Planning

Developing a systematic approach for setting and achieving goals.

Especially when working with the Storyboards, users must film each shot, keeping in mind the bigger picture of a cohesive and complete video. A story can be told many different ways with many different moods. Users should not just what they are shooting, but how they choose to film it. Determining a good rhythm is important, mixing in a variety of close-ups, pans, quick cuts, and longer scenes. Adding music can add to the drama or humor of a particular scene or video. It's important then, that users understand the tone and mood that works best with the storyboard idea before filming. This way, the film will have a continuity that can only be achieved when a vision is met with a logical and fitting step-by-step process. When users think ahead to put the video in the context of their overall vision, they will create a more effective product.

Organization

Arranging and coordinating materials in order to complete a task.

It's important that users demonstrate a strong sense of organization when filming with Directr. Every shot whether 2 seconds long or 2 minutes, can be arranged in a different order. There's no need for users to film their entire project in the order it will appear. Instead they can focus their energy on finding and executing a set of high quality and thematically linked shots. Only after users have captured their footage will the order matter. Each shot can be moved to a different part of the sequence simply by dragging it to a new position. Although users are encouraged to use the Storyboards, which are a set of pre organized scenes and captions, it they really wish to use the app to bolster their organizational skills, then they would be advised to work as much as possible without using the templates. Then users do not have the organizational crutch that the storyboard provides.

Self-Awareness

Understanding our own actions, thoughts and feelings. Improving social skills.

Directr inherently incorporates elements of the self-awareness thinking skill into its design, as it is a social media platform on which users can add friends, as well a liking and commenting on other users' videos. In addition to being a social platform, Directr encourages an introspective approach to filming a video. One of the Storyboard selection is a called "all about me." Using the template users must film some of their favorite things, while including applicable captions and a meaningful music score or song. The goal for users should be to create a video that not only reflects their interests, but also their personality.
