Research - Director

The director is the one responsible for overseeing and controlling creative aspects of a film under the producer. They will often direct the film into their certain vision, guiding the looks, emotion and decide what the audience gains from the experience. They will decide the majority of camera angles, lens effects and lighting with the help of the crew. They turn the script into a shot by shot sequence.


They will also coordinate the actors moves and lines appropriately. They are usually very creative people with a confident vision of the production and be very familiar with all aspects of production, including the technical side.

Directors do not work a regular work week. During the making of a movie, a film director may begin work in the early ours of the morning and work late into the night. Television directors may start even earlier. The work is strenuous and requires a great deal of time and dedication. Directors may be unemployed for long periods. However, the opening of the production can offer a great deal of satisfaction.
