Many aspiring actors who happen to be the sons and daughters of industry-related people prefer to start their acting career by working as Assistant Directors (AD) before their debut. It prepares them for a full-fledged acting career. It gives them hands-on practical knowledge on the sets. It gives them a perspective of what their job constitutes later as actors. Being on the sets help them understand the film making better. Outsiders prefer the modelling route to acting. Insiders rely on the assistant director route. In future, they understand the camera angles better, minimise the reel use and economise on shooting. It gives a good insight into what is expected as an actor while facing the camera. They also become comfortable in their future career, as the environment is familiar.
