A director plays a key role in a film's production,and acts as the vital link between the production,technical and creative teams.
Directors are responsible for turning the film's written script into actual images and sounds on the screen.They must define the style and structure of the film,and then act as both storytellers and team leaders to bring the vision to reality.
Directors may write the film script or have it written by others; or they may be hired after the script is completed.Directors must develop a vision for the finished film,and seek a practical way to achieve it.During preproduction,directors make important decisions,such as selecting the right cast and place for the film.They then direct the performances of the actors once the film is in production.Directors also manage the technical aspects of filming,including the camera,sound,lighting,design and special effects departments.During postproduction,directors work closely with editors through many technical processes of editing to reach the final cut of the film.At all stages,directors are responsible for encouraging the team to produce the best possible results.
Directors must have creative skills to develop an original film.Strong commitment and a deep affection for filmmaking are vital,along with the ability to act as a strong and confid
ent leader.Directors must constantly make decisions,but must also be able to team up with others.The ability to remain calm and think clearly under great pressure and the determination to succeed are very important for this role.
