Goal and plan of my project

I want to achieve in this project is to be comprehensive on set as a director through doing an actually shooting rather than communicating with DOP and actors abstractly in a limited time. I think it is not necessary to concern too much what I have to cover in the project, because we cannot film with only ideas and theories but also need to practice, go to shoot some footages even there are not any actors, just do the empty shots and edit a rough cut to see what I would have got, then I observe it, figure the problems out, correct them, and reshoot again. The plan might sound so unplanned, but I think practice is a key to make my picture in my mind to be visualized and boost up the efficiency when I have kick start with my project.
