I was researching Directors notebooks to try and get a more rounded view of what they were to contain, as I only had the one in session example to work off of. What I found is that it's not the easiest thing to find which makes sense as in a way it a directors personal diary that probably won't always be understood by the masses.
The Twilight directors notebook is the only hard copy that I was able to find online, except for that a lot of them seem to be in a computerised form using a software programme.
I cannot see myself having a computerised version, (In the future as the one that needs to be submitted has to be a hard copy) as I would want something I could have at hand to write random words and thoughts that may come to mind. That being said I thought that the Twilight one was too detailed, I understand that it was probably constructed that way on purpose for publication reasons, but it felt more like an annotated storyboard.
Thinking of these two examples and the in session on, what is in a directors notebook is ultimately down to the director and their specific needs and how they work best creatively. I think mine will have more notes and lists than annotated pictures. But I cannot say for definite as it's all down to what happens in the moment.
