I'm applying to a Media Production major at my school right now. Under "Representative Job Titles Related to this Major" it says, Director of Photography,... etc... I'd really like to go into directing though. Is it a big step from cinematographer to Director? Would I need a lot of additional education or is it more of a technicality? I've never heard of a DP becoming a Director, that's why I'm asking.
Thanks!

Many directors started their careers in another film occupation, like screenwriting, editing, cinematography, set designer, etc., and worked their way up.
Nicolas Roeg and Ronald Neame are two examples of directors of photography who became directors.
