This master's thesis deals with the topic of an artistic profession that is like a clock mechanism or an engine for a car. In order for each segment of the mechanism to move, a person is needed to oversee all sectors and lead them through the lengthy process until the final result is achieved, in this case, the release of a short fiction film. They are the "brains of the operation", participating in every phase of the project from the idea, pre-production, all the way to post-production and distribution of the audiovisual work. The tasks and characteristics required for engaging in this artistic profession are as follows: leadership, communication skills, negotiation and persuasion skills, creativity, insightfulness, patience, and what I have personally experienced being highly noticed by people, modesty and gratitude towards each team member who diligently performs their tasks. The focus is on the person because only a human being possesses all the qualifications for such a job and cannot be replaced by any technology. The theme that this work will elaborate on is the newly created audiovisual work, a short fiction film "Blackout", as well as the profession I have been discussing up to now and have not yet mentioned. It is about directing. In addition to directing on this project, I was also a producer and screenwriter along with the most competent right-hand screenwriter and first assistant director, Bartul Mušura. Through this written work, I will show everything that was necessary for me to prepare the project, including the synopsis, directorial concept, screenplay, and shooting script. The directorial job did not end with project preparation but extended through production and post-production, presenting challenging tasks and decisions, but for that segment, I will submit my audiovisual work only to demonstrate whether all my directorial strategies and decisions were justified.
