Director
A director visualises the films structure and style of the film, his aim is to bring his artistic vision to life. A directors responsibility is to take the words on the script and transform them into images/shots and scenes. Directors may write the script to the film or work on it later after the writing team has developed a draft, he then has to conceptualise the finished film and work on accomplishing it.
In pre-production the director will be involved in casting, hiring crew, and scouting locations for the film. They also work alongside storyboard makers to achieve their vision on paper, before production. They work with the crew: lighting, sound, camera etc... to create a unique look to the film and to inform them on the way he wants it to be filmed.
During production the director then directs the actors to capture a specific intention/moment on camera. He assists them in their performance and gives them an understanding of how to perform the characters.
In post-production, the director will work alongside the editor, so that the shot order, transitions, cuts and special effects meet with the directors vision.
